Not quite, if you split up then each community might have
stronger social bonding, but in terms of aggregating helpful
advice you will be worse off. It would be suitable for
geographic groups (e.g. for a country/city).
For instance slashdot is very poor in social boding terms, but
much better than the dlang forums for aggregating helpful
advice. So the "learn" forum is beneficial socially, but does
erode the slashdot presence.
You have a valid point, but still I am sure the facebook group is
a net positive for the community. I'd see it as a digital version
of a local user group.
Would be useful to have the option to post D.learn questions
automatically on stack overflow as well.
