Hi Severn City crew! I wanted to give a little bit of background into why i have decided to move my journey from Facebook and start building the community on Skool Here's the TL;DR: 🔵 My accounts on Facebook got hacked - and the support was non existent 🔵 It doesn't have the culture that fosters honest and positive community growth 🔵 The people I speak to have a mountain of distrust for Facebook Here's the longer version: It started as a great place to build the running group. Other groups used it, for loads of reasons. Large groups of lots of people for various shared interests and causes, it even lets you post events.... which seemed perfect. It quickly dawned on me that there were a lot f limitations, and i could not build the kind of group that i truly wanted. And there's other things. Growing a group on your own is hard. I know how to advertise, so of course, i try and advertise the group to try and get members to join, but Facebook, in all it's wisdom, wouldn't let me advertise my own Facebook group. Insane. Then after i grew the group despite the limitations to just over 100 people, I got hacked. Someone with a completely different name (username that is), hacked my Instagram account linked to Facebook and the group account and, even though this was a different username, Facebook gave me a lovely message when trying to log in that someone by the name of 'quailsmerlyn' had claimed the account was theirs and when i go and follow their process for retrieving the account properly, i got sent on an endless link/click loop. You enter in the details they want, click the next button. Enter in some more details on the next screen, click next. Click another confirmation that you are happy to proceed, then it proceeds to take you back to the first of these three steps. and with the days counting down to when the whole process will close down your account for good.... this is beyond infuriating. And the worst part is, it affected my personal Facebook page, which to be honest caused me upsset. I wasn't using Facebook as a social media channel for years at this point, only the running group stuff, but it had old photos that i really didn't want to lose forever.
