Re: MX Linux Facebook group
Facebook has received so much negative press that I won't go into it. They have correctly earned their horrible reputation regarding privacy issues.
Nevertheless, I do appreciate those who work to help MX users no matter the venue.

Re: MX Linux Facebook group
After over 25 years on Usenet, Facebook is a calm, peaceful haven! The local area FB group where I live has over 26,000 members - 25% of the population, or around 50% of the adult population. It's really useful for getting and giving information on rapidly changing situations. It's well-moderated. which is key to a successful group. Of course, you need to choose which posts to read, and ignore any which might irritate.
The privacy issues don't bother me; I only give what I'm happy to. ;-)

Re: MX Linux Facebook group
I always find it hilarious when people complain about 'privacy' on Facebook.
As if they are posting on their refrigerator in their kitchen when they are actually posting on a fence in Central Park.
What part of 'social' don't you understand?

Indeed, and the privacy options in Facebook now are comprehensive and fine-grained should you choose to use them.

Re: MX Linux Facebook group
I feel that a FaceBook group allows quicker potential replies, as well as targeting groups that might not like the forum format.
It was thanks to the FaceBook post that I knew not to upgrade my Laptop due to the kernel issue.
But I also understand those who don't FaceBook.
But having a FaceBook group as well only expands the reach of support and that is a good thing.

Re: MX Linux Facebook group
well i don't use social media , i only use facebook for discount , or registering a site membership that have partnership with the respective social media , even then it's a faux identity with a open-source faux e-mail generator , and im not doing it on the daily driver machine ...
i personally want something like gitter or discord but i don't know if i can get approvals from the devs ...

Re: MX Linux Facebook group
Has nothing to do with the devs... Gitter is open-source and there are deb files for installation
https://gitter.im/apps
Discord is proprietary but also has a deb for 64 bit
