Facebook is nowhere near as dead as you think it is. It is still the best place for local groups and many niche hobbyist groups.

I was so hopeful that Reddit might see reason, but at this point, pigboy can take reddit and stuff it up his spez
This is honestly probably for the best. It’s a really bad idea that we’ve let reddit monopolize niche knowledge
did anyone else from the USA grow up being forced to say the pledge to the flag in school? (kbin.social)
im 20 for reference. ever since i was a kid, up until hs, we were forced every morning to stand, look at the flag and hold our hearts and say:...
