Why Facebook and not anyother Libre social network that can be self-hosted (example - Diaspora, Friendica, StatusNet, Pump.io)? That way we can have full control over the privacy and the data of the users. Of course on Facebook a lot of people already have accounts and are active, but when people can join a mailing list to participate, why not a social network? If we do such a thing we will also be promoting free software instead of proprietary, vendor locked, walled gardens. That said, I am okay with posting events and notifications on all the popular social networks.
