I don't have facebook and have no plans of ever making an account. These Facebook only companies are nearly impossible for me to interact with, so I just don't. Facebook used to let you look at stuff without an account but they eventually reached the tipping point and now a lot of stuff is inaccessible to me.

Not sure who is on the wrong side of this garden's wall...

Speaking of "garden's wall", even the bigger problem is when our local communities organize some event where everyone is welcome (everyone who's used by fb that is) and this digital fence is becoming taller each year. RMS calls such people "useds", I just simply call them neighbors.

Its the same for clubs who may have a website but for event details you have to check Facebook.

Agreed, I keep reptiles and there are few active reptile communities outside of Facebook.
