Great idea, but seems basically to be a collection of facebook groups? Am quite despondent that so many community groups are reliant on facebook.

- ip26 6y agoIt could be on any platform. Discord would serve just as well. Facebook is just the common denominator everyone currently uses.
- caeril 6y agoWhy use a third party social platform at all? They have a website. There are 3489502983450896 open source forum/groups software packages for every platform, every language, every database. Same with authentication. Hell, they could even drop in OAuth so people could still use their FB credentials without giving all their users' data up. Hosting their own groups is a less than a one day job. There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for this decision. None.

- vehementi 6y agoNo it says in the article that some people started using facebook for it because it was the prevalent thing at the time but anything can be used.
