Please please please stop using corporate social media for organising and events, it locks out people who care about privacy, they have to go searching instead of just being told what happens, and it's just generally a bad experience all around.
I can't wrap my head around the fact that my fav techno club which prides itself on being oh so queer oriented and inclusive uses Facebook to announce their events. In the year of our lord 2025??? Facebook???? For queer shit????????????
For any shit IMO. Facebook a festering hole now, designed to spread hate and monitor people. I quit over 10yrs ago and I am an actual boomer. If this old fart can quit anyone can.
Yeah, I've seen so many queer things use Facebook or Instagram and it's baffling.
Plausible explanation - they want more reach. If you use something as ubiquitous as FB/IG, more people are going to read your page. Region dependents ofc
Hmmm, that did not work out so well did it. Cant send much info to your venue with your accounts toasted.
You're reading their statement about it though.
You can't have huge reach without using shit tier corporate media. Not yet anyway. People are used to things they're used to, it's not exactly rocket science. Make backups elsewhere and encourage people to follow you there, that's the sensible option imo.
edit: unless you're willing to limit reach from day 1, I'm sure there are orgs like that
