We're a social bunch.
Not usually closely social with our physical/immediate neighbours, we used to have a choice.

Before the internet was reliable or in everyone's pocket, there were meetup groups.
One group I knew would be at every Friday evening and I went more often than not. Sadly that group wound up around the same time that I started working from home.
Another meets on a Tuesday and we've been limping along online through the pandemic. This group is trying for in person meetups, though the interest isn't high and our online hangouts are getting more sparce.

It's sad to see these groups melt away.

Particularly in light of what FB is doing.
Like it or not, FB is the way people connect to each other and is where they get their news.
FB is a hard habit to break, or should I say that it's such a (relatively) easy platform to use. The way that groups/pages/events are set up is fairly intuitive.

There have been forays off FB to other platforms over time. These kinds of actions don't work if the majority of people stay put.

I'm kind of wondering what people will do this time
