Very few people that I know even know what Discord is. ;) Same
thing with Matrix. ;) There's always the opportunity to
inform and educate. I like Discord. I'm only linked up with TheUnderground (designed to foster BBS-help for sysops). I like
the way TheUnderground channel is organized. It's much better
for fostering conversations *and* being able to find content in
a thread. It's almost like an online bbs with the sub-channels
acting like echos.

See, and in my case, most people I know know what Discord is.
None of them know what Telegram is.

...So, you spend a lot of time clicking "Replies", then
going up a level to the next Comment and clicking on the next
"Replies" below that, and so on to get the full thread.
Terrible.

FB is only good for casual ephemaral chit-chat. Nobody needs a
search function for that.

I'm in quite a few groups that are more than casual ephemeral
chit-chat, and I've actually had a need for the search function
in those groups a few times. Though, for the most part, I don't
disagree.

Sure.. I'd probably use FB more often if I was paid to admin
people's pages too. It pays to be familiar with what you are
getting paid to admin.

Indeed, on a number of occasions, I've considered just quitting
Facebook, I tried avoiding it for the last few weeks. I realized
There were other reasons to keep it, one of my local ham radio
clubs, annoucnes their meetings and posts the zoom links on
Facebook. I missed the meeting this month, as well as a small
local ham fest I would have liked to attend. Oh well.

I too, keep FB in my back pocket only because I have a some
friends and relatives who seem to only use that for messaging
via Messenger) ..and posting some pics from their lives.

Heh, yeah, I have one friend who mostly only contacts me on
messenger, and it's worse then ephemeral chit-chat. It's
completely random and pointless. Drives me nuts.

I also just realized that it is not possible to highlight and
copy any Comment or Reply! What good is that when you need to
copy a particular message that contains helpful information for
later referral.

On Facebook? I do that all the time, it works for me, on desktop and mobile.
