Facebook is also not really set up for ongoing discussions. With a mailing
list I can filter the messages into a folder and read when I have time. On
Facebook, once something scrolls past it's gone.

I don't think GBACG restricts their FB membership to local residents, 
but they do focus primarily on local events. If you want a regional FB 
group that includes some discussion of more general costuming issues, 
there is a huge number of them for different areas.  Just look up  your 
city, state, region, and you'll probably find such a group.

Really, Majordomo lists are superior except for not transferring images, 
which people discussing costuming often want to do.  I'd assume maybe 
they can, if the moderator sets it up?  People have more bandwidth now 
than they did 20+ years ago when I first joined.

Re: [h-cost] h-costume on facebook?

[Lavolta Press]

I don't think many FB groups are invitation only or require a private 
request to a moderator to be added. But to post, you do have to join by 
clicking a Join this group button.


That said, FB is generally not a venue where long, substantive 
discussions take place. Its tiny message boxes encourage people not to 
write anything longer than two lines. You can post a longer message--the 
box expands to some extent--but many people don't.  The other thing 
about FB is that its basic setup, the culture the company has strongly 
encouraged, is for people to get torqued about how many people like 
what they say (and by extension themselves), which also does not 
encourage substantive discussion. Collecting likes is silly and 
juvenile, but it does appeal to something in human nature. There is no 
real substitute for Majordomo and Yahoo type groups.
