Do you have one and do you think Facebook groups are a viable Reddit alternative? I hear they’re pretty popular.
Have? Yes
Use? No
I use mine for several different wildlife groups like spider identification, hoverflies, natural history museum. There are some good groups on there but I think it depends on how they are moderated as to how good they are.
LOL people still use Facebook?
I have two. One I use for family and to buy things on marketplace, the other I use to follow my job’s social media. I haven’t tried Facebook groups, though from what I can tell with Insta, “Threads,” and Facebook groups, Meta seems to be trying to reclaim their social media monopoly, which feels scummy.
Nope, never have. It surprises me how many people my age use it though. Groups might technically be viable but Facebook wasn’t designed to be used like reddit, so you could use it but I doubt there would be many interesting communities to browse.
And the sorting algoritmus is terrible. I’m in one local facebook group and the top post is somebody looking for a help for that evening… month ago. That post didn’t get more reactions/likes than others, just Facebook somehow decided I should see that and not an important large discussion about important topic.
