> except it’s just stuff I want, and people I want to hear from. Part of the value of Facebook for me is the opposite of this -- stuff I don't want, sometimes from people I don't want to hear from. It pops the bubble (which I'm VERY much covered by as an expat in Japan) and keeps my mind flexible while reminding me that other people think/believe different things, usually for reasons that make a lot of sense to them. Yes, I think a concentrated community like a Slack channel is a great way to stay in touch with people, but it's usually so ultra-focused that when I focus on communities like that, I can really see/feel my worldview and perspective narrowing to the one I use every day for communicating with them.
