The secret with FB is just take in the info you want and don't engage with the keyboard warriors. There are hundreds of aviation/modeling/historical FB groups in my bookmarks and I don't I've posted on more than 4-5.
There seems to be lots of folks that avoid Facebook entirely, but they are missing out on some fantastic special interest/historic pages. I belong to several from hiking, modeling, aviation (B-36, B-58, WWII.,..) specific vehicle groups (great way to learn common problems and maintenance tips). These special interest groups are something that Facebook is very good for- don't be afraid

I've never looked back from leaving FB. I wish more people would use forums like this that are so much more searchable, organized, open to the public, and more of an archive-like situation, all the while not spying on you.
I agree with you, but for many people now instant posting on social media like FB and Instawhotzit etc., using their phone is all they are interested in. Using a laptop or such to view older tech forum's is not what people want to do.
Even the forum site that are easily accessible on a phone can be a hard read now, as you can tell when people are using their phones, in posts devoid of punctuations, correct use of case, and often are meaningless drivel as they are posting with predictive text enabled and can't be bothered to check that they've actually selected the right word.....
Modern life eh.....
