Who uses facebook groups anymore for things like that? Whenever I get organized info electronically e.g. wedding stuff its an email with a link to a website. Whenever something gets planned among friends its a group text. Whenever any event in town is happening and they put up a flyer about it, there will be a QR scan to a purpose built website.
Sure, we use group WhatsApp, not facebook (we’d still be on sms if not for media sharing and group management sucking on there) but that gets similar complaints from privacy-conscious geeks. Point is, if you refuse to use what other people are using to communicate, it either puts a burden on others or means you miss stuff (or probably some mix of both). That’s why people say they can’t abandon whichever platform or platforms are central for their various social groups.
