The big question is... What can replace fb groups. For any non-tech topic they seem to be the goto replacement for good old discussion boards.

  Reddit of works as a good alternative. However, the steep-ish learning curve of it seems to keep the average person away (for the better?) FB now only serves the following uses for me: 1. Finding housing in a new city (FB groups are still king here) 2. Checking friends Birthdays, and to get in touch with them when I don't have their contact info 3. Checking events happening in my area / generating interest for an event I'm attending That's it, and I can't wait to find alternatives for each.

    Have you used Marketplace? I was wary but had a better experience than the previous de facto local option Gumtree. I suppose having a real name and face for accountability works on some people.

      No. I use craigslist. For rentals I use the cityname-housing groups that have 50k or so users each.
