Do you have one and do you think Facebook groups are a viable Reddit alternative? I hear they’re pretty popular.

    I have one still but the only reason it still exists is because my fantasy football group has a messenger group that it’s used for to coordinate draft times.

    I use mine for several different wildlife groups like spider identification, hoverflies, natural history museum. There are some good groups on there but I think it depends on how they are moderated as to how good they are.

    Closed mine a long time ago, I think back when Edward Snowden did the whole NSA whistleblowing. Don’t miss it.

    I still have one, but mainly because of family and some friends from school. I use it here and there I do. I really need to get everyone’s contact info, so I can delete my account.

        True…

        But then I wouldn’t be able to randomly fb stalk someone I used to work with like 10 years ago who randomly popped in my head and then get kinda bitter cuz it looks like shit’s going significantly better for them than me…

        Not that I’d do that or anything…

    I really only use it for gigging. Businesses promote our shows and it’s really the only way that is even remotely helpful for letting people know about gigs. While there certainly are other ways, FB and the musician groups i’m a part of have the best impact.
