Nearly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/delete-facebook-statistics-nearly-10-percent-americans-deleted-facebook-account-study-2018-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one in 10 Americans<\/a> hit the eject button on Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s baby. That\u2019s understandable. Nobody likes their information ending up with weird, shady companies or Russian troll farms. But there are alternatives, some of which have been available for years. If you\u2019re fed up with Facebook, Softonic is bringing you <\/span><b>three little-known social networks to check out. <\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>Vero<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It launched back in mid-2015, but it wasn\u2019t until 2018 that Vero truly emerged. After the controversy surrounding Facebook, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vero.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Vero<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> directors launched a marketing campaign using influencers to promote the social network. And it worked. Now the platform is better known than ever, and it\u2019s possible that some of your contacts have already told you about it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How is it different from the rest? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vero also lets you add profiles, check statuses, look at photos, etc. If you had to compare it to something regarding user contact, the best model would be Instagram. Of course, the app design leaves much to be desired, with dark colors and elements that don\u2019t fit into the whole. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-100748\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/vero-1200x610.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/vero-1200x610.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/vero-1200x610-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/vero-1200x610-768x390.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/vero-1200x610-1024x521.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/h2>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Vero\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-logo-l,f_auto,dpr_auto\/p\/23ff7a45-4b01-4f04-a94b-4fd49db3a0ab\/536072358\/vero-01-03-2018%2010-06-07.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Vero<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/vero.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Free<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--70\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"70\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"7\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">7<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/vero.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2>Ryze<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Generally speaking, they say that social networks are very superficial and lack important content, but that all changes with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryze.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Ryze<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

Instead of sharing photos of your latest party or trip, you share what book you just finished reading.

Bravo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although the platform has become more of a conventional web page, in the background, it\u2019s a space to talk about books, magazines, comics and any medium that encourages reading. On the platform, any user can add content, so if you just finished reading a fanzine and want to catalog it in case another user is looking for it, you can do it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-100749\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/goodreads-1200x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/goodreads-1200x682.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/goodreads-1200x682-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/goodreads-1200x682-768x436.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/goodreads-1200x682-1024x582.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/goodreads-1200x682-238x134.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We strongly recommend you take a look at GoodReads.
