A friend of mine got a text that a relative was in the hospital. The first thing she did was post about it in an open group conversation with about 10 participants that she had on Messenger. I asked her about it and she said that the conversation had been open for months and people in her family use it to stay in contact. I'd never thought of that, but it works and its better for staying in contact than FB's features. It's a Slack-lite. FB could easily destroy it by putting ads in Messenger, and they probably will.
