I've been trying to convince Facebook groups I am in to make a forum for the group or at least use Discourse, but, *sigh* they all were like this isn't 1990 boomer Luddite! Learn how to use Facebook! even as the website and mobile app become less accessible. Honestly, if the #Fediverse ever makes something like Facebook groups, completely closed off communities where people can go to post about books or TV shows or just a common thing and nobody from the outside could post to it, that would be the thing that makes Fedi popular. Oh, and no character limit! No character limits posts will always win, especially when talking about a topic or something. #Forum #Discourse
@WeirdWriter well, there is the privacy issue.
Even though the guarantee is limited, the walled garden of Facebook can do much more to assure privacy of posts made to a private group on that platform than this platform can.
That's going to be a big deal to many.
