I’m going to have to check out the FB page - before it gets shut down. But if FR itself is getting less readership, it’s because it has a ton of vanity posts now and way too many unsupported “booms.”
Even with a good source, nobody ever reads the source before opining. But of course that’s nothing new.
I still go many times a day, but it is becoming less useful as a good source of hard info. But that can change. This is a rough patch for us all.
On the good side, I’ve seen a few new posters and also I think the “old technology” might be hardier, so don’t give up.
I don’t mind most of the vanities. Makes it feel like a community. But the “boom” posts of stories from sites of questionable veracity get to be a bit much. Even more so if they get posted as breaking news. Those always end up eventually finding their right place once the mods get to them, but it would be nice if people took a little more care with regard to which category they post things in.
Having commented that FR’s FB page is exploding, we are being massively censored by Zuck & Co also, but we don’t care, if they shut us down, so be it. #f**kzuck
