So, after mulling it over for some time I have decided that I am going to go ahead and start up a facebook group for people with Aspergers/ASD in my area :-) Partly because I need this service and partly because I believe that the area that I live in needs this service. I'm starting the planning part of this now so I'm working on that in-between posting on here. Any advice or ideas from you guys is of course most welcome.....
Hey guys - it’s easy to start a group without FB... If you start a group on FB - it’s not yours ever. It’s owned by FB. And they can and do just move the goalposts and you will be powerless to do anything at all about it. I’ve seen it happen over and over again since the start of FB.
You could use PHB forums or Wordpress instead. 100 times more professional and you’ll have control. Honestly FB is evil and is hijacking our tech in the form of Survielalance Capitolism.
Absolutely agree. I much prefer traditional websites and forums, like phpBB or VBulletin, to FB. The owner has full control of their website whereas with FB they are at the mercy of Mark Zuckerberg and his business interests.
FB is trying to centralise and take over the internet whereas forums are decentralised.
