I've been watching something of an exodus from tribe unfold over the last several months. More "unsubbed" posts appear in my tribes and in my inbox. This tribe remains perhaps the only really active one among the 200-ish I've got. So I talked to Jory, who said "go for it" to the idea that we might also build a Mac OS X community over on fb for anyone who happens to be over there, and created a group for us:
www.facebook.com/groups/284070525006597/
Don't want to join? No harm, no foul. But it would be a shame to lose touch with the great resource this tribe has become for so many. I hope to see you over there.

Fri, April 13, 2012 - 5:24 PMAlas, Facebook no longer allows you to attach a note to a membership request. I'm Michael Goettee over there, so you might not make a connection with tribe otherwise.

Re: Community on fb
Fri, April 20, 2012 - 3:11 PMHi - I just requested to join. My name is
Jake Superfly More on FB. THX. There are only 13 people though. To make that group functional, we really need many of the active tribe folk to join. -

Re: Community on fb
Fri, April 20, 2012 - 7:34 PMI do wonder about that. Are folks simply still resisting fb? Or is there just so much apathy, that our regulars aren't bothering with connecting over there? -

Tue, May 1, 2012 - 11:17 AMSeriously. If you think that's a better "party" for you then, gee, be on your way. -

The people make the party, of course. I may not be happy about the new digs, but my friends are there. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

Re: Community on fb
Thu, May 3, 2012 - 2:12 PMFacebook has its values just as tribe does. They're different because we all have different needs. I don't understand the condescending comment. Not being on Facebook doesn't make anyone superior, JUST DIFFERENT. -

Re: Community on fb
Thu, May 3, 2012 - 9:20 PMWhat irks me is when someone comes here and makes out like Facebook is where the cool kids are. And then calls me 'smug'? Weird stuff. -

Re: Community on fb
Sun, May 6, 2012 - 3:10 PMI make Facebook do what I need it to do for me and don't have any coolness issues about it one way or the other.
Let me contribute to lightening this thread up a bit. I shared this on Facebook, because I find myself living life much more enjoyably the less I take myself so seriously, either here or on Facebook:
"Being popular on
FACEBOOK
is like sitting at the
cool table in a cafeteria
at a MENTAL HOSPITAL." -

Re: Community on fb
Wed, May 9, 2012 - 6:11 AMWell, in the seven days since my last post, there have been seven messages in this OS X group, and nearly all of them are about my use of the word "smug." So I'm doing the math... In the meantime:
I never said fb was better. I did say my friends were there. And Watchdog is right, except I think we're all sitting at the cool table in a mental hospital. I see no shame in partaking of a gathering where there is at least some possibility of an ongoing conversation. That is what community is, after all. There's certainly little to none of that going on in tribe, anymore. In the last seven days, there have been zero (zero!) messages in any of my favorite tribes. -

Re: Community on fb
Wed, May 9, 2012 - 9:14 AMIs it set up like tribe, where you have discussion groups for different topics (like "mac os x"), and threads within those discussion groups (like ""Save As" missing in action")? -
-
Re: Community on fb
Wed, May 9, 2012 - 10:34 AMYes. It looks a little different, but the functionality is there. -
-
Re: Community on fb
Wed, May 9, 2012 - 11:33 AMI'm looking at it now, and it just looks like one, long, continuous thread. How does one post or get to an individual topic within the group, or view all the discussion topics? -
-
Re: Community on fb
Wed, May 9, 2012 - 11:49 AMIf it's like other fb groups, each topic looks like a post with the number of sub-comments listed under the topic text for each comment. -

Wed, May 9, 2012 - 4:27 PM"If it's like other fb groups, each topic looks like a post with the number of sub-comments listed under the topic text for each comment."
Oh, okay, I get it.
Wow, that's really crappy. There's no brief subject heading to summarize and reference, and there's no way to get a list of the various topics for discussion. I'll probably have to break down and join soon, but it's SO inferior to tribe's layout, so inefficient and cumbersome.
I wonder what the chances are that they'll eventually redesign the group layout to be more conducive to discussion, like tribe.

Re: Community on fb
Wed, May 9, 2012 - 10:39 AMSort of like tribe. i.e.: if I post a question to the OSX Group, anyone can comment on it and all the comments will be shown consecutively and visible to all. I like that you can post pics and charts and also links. If Tribe ever folds -FB will be all we have left!

Re: Community on fb
Wed, May 16, 2012 - 10:35 PMActually I prefer the smaller community that Tribe creates
