The best feature of FB is reach. You can't replicate that without a global social media platform. So don't. Just build local communities that thrive _despite_ the fact they are started on FB. More in-person social interaction might upend FB and social media, but we currently play this game so these are the rules we must follow.
- miohtama 2y agoIt's reach and UX. Normies can use it. People who were in early days of Internet remember who bad email mailing lists were for organising anything. Mailing list, Usenet, IRC, are all now dead because no one could invest to UX in these early open protocols. In theory you can reach all users using a mailing list but oh boy, good luck with that one, unless all of your peers are kernel developers.
- WhyNotHugo 2y ago> People who were in early days of Internet remember who bad email mailing lists were for organising anything. Most of us miss the simplicity of mailing lists. I lived in a new (at the time) neighbourhood back in 2008, and we had a neighbourhood mailing list which was very convenient. Nobody had issues with using it, because there’s very little to learn if you know how ti read and reply emails. Sure, we had to explain “reply to one” vs “reply to all” to a few people, but that’s entirely it. Mailing lists fell out of fashion because of marketing and trends, not because of any inherent limitations.
