the MAGA/QAnon/ProudBoys etc. are looking for alternatives to get together and many are going on VK, the Russian Facebook :
"This "Russian Facebook", VK, under the financial control of the oligarch Alisher Ousmanov (close to Vladimir Putin), is one of the few alternative platforms that offer the possibility of streaming live video.
These live videos are increasingly the preferred form of communication for leaders of the alternative right. They sometimes attract thousands of people at a time and "create a sense of community" where subscribers can interact in real time, says the expert.
But VK also has its share of problems that limit its adoption. "This is a real mess," [...]
To follow people there, you must provide a valid phone number and a recent photo to prove your identity. Phishing attempts of all kinds are rife there.
VK collects a lot of information which they then sell on the Dark Web. On some hidden sites, full user profiles can be found that have been hacked."
