Re: managing Facebook. I have stopped
"following" almost everyone, except family and a
few group pages. We're still "friends" and I can
go to their page and see what's up with them if
I want to, but I don't get the constant feed of
100s of posts every day. I can now get through FB in about 15 minutes, tops.

I never signed up for Facebook. At first, they
didn't want me because I wasn't a college
student, so I chose to NOT grace their product
when they started letting the rest of us in. (To
quote Danny Zucko in _Grease_, "Sloppy seconds
ain't my style".) Then they started mucking
around with privacy settings so everyone's
private and family-only stuff was made public to
everyone. I don't trust Facebook and won't give
them my business (or eyeball time).
I would love to reinvigorate this list, but I
just donât have the time or will any longer to
plow through yet another social media
outlet. It is getting so I donât even check
my Facebook, let alone someone elseâs every
day. When I donât check, the tide of posts
overwhelms me and if something came through
early the first day it is impossible to see late
on the second. Instagram may be the best thing
going, but I canât see opening up another fire hose on my computer.
A lot of the time, I just archived the posts
because they weren't pertinent to the period I
was working in, or because I didn't have time to
read the posts. I've lost about two years' worth
of email due to a drive failure (and concurrent
backup-drive failure), but sticking with an
antiquated e-mail program means I've personal
email archives going back over 25 years.

Yahoo Groups is still around and active; it's
just that the individual groups aren't as
frequently posted-to as in the past. There are
still a number of costuming groups around, though
some have been dormant for years. (I am still
subbed to RENCOSTUMER, Elizabethan Clothing,
Italian_Renaissance_Costuming, Courtesans,
authenticfabric, margospatterns,
margospatterns-pictures, margonian_caravan,
PreRaphaeliteGarb, Smockers_Anonymous, smockinglist, and swapsell.)

Again, a Facebook property. Will NOT get my eyeballs (I am VERY anti-FB.)
I hear you. I use Instagram to follow yarn dyers and pattern designers.
It's dangerous and another time-sucking void... but oh so inspiring! It's
just not a great place for text - which is why I liked this list as email
format.
