Not only unnecessary but divisive as well. For example, because I will never have a Facebook account I would never be a part of that group. So, can the open source community be a part of Facebook groups *without* a Facebook account? Even if the groups would be open to the public, why would advertisements be a part of a D group? (I don't want to go more off-topic here but I would love to discuss Facebook over your favorite drink.)
I'm sorry to hear some of you do not like my initiative. Those who don't have a FB account can continue to use this website or Discord. But those who have a FB account(most people do) can use the group as well, specially when they want to publish their work. Lots of people use the group to publish the GitHub of Dlang projects they've been working on, like a guy who created a game engine in D.
Nowadays a big part of the population uses FB daily, so that is a great way to communicate with the world.
And apart from all that, having an official FB group serves to show Dlang is growing strong and proud, it shows the world that Dlang is not dead(most people think it is).
BTW 2 more members joined today :D
