The only thing I don’t like about email is you cannot edit it after the fact. I like it because I can see at a glance in one small mail client all the activity and delete it. With FB I have to scroll, and show more, and open prior comments etc etc. Much more cumbersome. And I have to actually open FB on a browser. My email client is always up and AF is in a folder and I can see at a glance if there is traffic.

I have groups I want to participate in which are on Facebook. I have organizations that I want to follow who tweet everything. Others use Instagram or perhaps even tiktok. Oh, and don't forget youtube and reddit. As I'm not a regular user of most of those platforms, I miss out on those discussions. I really want a feed aggregator where I can visit a page and see all the new stuff no matter where it came from. Bonus points if I can also follow the comments on sites like Facebook.

There are several similar platforms, here's one: https://www.phpbb.com/ These are way better than a mailing-list. You can post stuff for reference for all the members to read and see and you don't have to worry about FB changing the game-plan on you or worry about losing stuff cause you haven't looked at it for awhile On 7/28/22 03:43, Forrest Christian (List Account) wrote: Yeah, not looking for the drama, just the discussions. I'm in some of the fb groups. I just haven't figured out how to consistently remember to drop by and see what is going on, and also how to get FB to reliably feed me what's actually new in the groups I actually want to follow. I realize the second part is likely "the algorithm" doing its job and also my lack of active Facebook usage causing me to not have the experience that others do in following all of these discussions. I keep hoping someone will come up with a magic service that can tell me about all the things I might want to read on all the platforms. I know some of the social media aggregators are pretty good, but last I played with them they really were about managing a social medial presence instead of reading social media.
