@tchambers ...I am eagerly awaiting the day when our Community Association can kick the community Facebook pages to the kerb and replace them with a federated forum/BBS of OUR choosing that could actually have some traction...where all those existing 3000 to 4000 FB page members could just...do nothing and continue to participate in our very own Community BBS with their Meta logins! Those who pay dues could even migrate from there to local accounts for the full experience!

But...no...*WE* must follow *THEM* Our interactions just disappear into the fedi-aether. We can look but cannot touch. This one-way flow of info from Big Silo Social to ragtag fedi is of such limited use for such a big burden it is no wonder so many instances proactively fediblocked them.
