You are direct engaging right now, but tomorrow or the next day I challenge you to find this same conversation and look up something said that you might think was important enough to look up.

how is that an issue with phpbb???  You can link directly to fb , twit or what ever from phpbb, the administrator sets that up.  The forum can save any kind of data you may ever want to where it's easy to find.  Drawings, files, photos, jokes, databases, easily findable (after all, it's a huge filing cabinet available at the touch of a finger) and you can have email notices when somebody posts something you're watching.

The platforms actively eliminate that. They want direct engagement

    My problem is that I don't get to choose the platform.

    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.

        have you thought about using a community forum platform? 
        There are several similar platforms, here's one:
        https://www.phpbb.com/ <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

        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.

            @Forrest it's on Facebook where it's more live chat and
            less email.  This situation is definitely something to
            avoid because of how ridiculous it is, but everyone's
            entitled to their opinions...

                Can I ask where this drama is going on?

                I still haven't found the 'new place to hang out'.

                    Nextlink has hired Claude (and Rick and Cameron

                    Could someone please explain the controversy
