to fb or not to fb... that is the ?

  I was determined not to join FB, but when my son got married 10 years ago, they put their wedding pictures on FB, and if you wanted to order any you had to join, which irritated me but if you can’t beat them...I was immediately contacted by several friends that I hadn’t heard from in a couple of decades.  Since I have moved far from where I grew up, this was kind of fun.  I mainly post pictures of my grandkids.
   My wife refuses to have an account but looks at mine.  She is a Nurse and recently there was a Nursing Strike and the 2200 Nurses where they work organized and communicated through a FB group, which she made me join.  Since their employer refused their Union any on site access, the FB group was invaluable for communication and coordination.  I had never belonged to any fb group or forum before.  I won’t be joining the OP forum either, because I while away to much time on this site already.

I belong to several audio groups on Facebook and I have found them to be no worse than this one and a few of them are excellent. There are some very specific groups like "Nakamichi Owners" and "Krell Owners" which have been very helpful to me. I have submitted my request for the new group and we'll see how it goes.

My extended family is on Facebook and it's been an enormous benefit in keeping up with them. Zuckerberg is an arrogant criminal and I strongly disagree with a lot of Facebook policies but on balance I have held my nose and stayed with them.

@8th-note........Agreed, Zuckerberg is a criminal, and FB and it’s policy’s need to be scrutinized.  With that being said, I am closer to far away family members and to me that is far more important than the FB politics.  

As intriguing as another audio social media outlet sounds,I just won't fb. I don't tweet,or instagram,or whatever else there is out there. I participate in a few audio forums,but that's it for me. 

Thanks for the heads up, just sent a request to join your group.  Let’s get on with the “productive” discord without all the bashing.
