I joined about a month back. Over 8300 members, and it is fast moving. There seem to be lots of knowledgeable, respectful folks at the site willing to share.
I like the pace of GardenWeb better.

I will skip it, I get enough alerts just from the red fountain club. I wonder if you can turn the alerts off. GardenWeb is enough for me.

There is probably a setting you can change. That way you will not get notices but will see them in your feed. Whatever that is. There may be a setting where they will not show up in your feed. Then you can just click on the group and read what you want at your convince. I think I am in that worm group. Way less posts there than the vegetable fermenting group. I agree the posts at the worm group are good. Similar to ours. I only read and do not answer there. They do not seem to need more replies. And the answers seem similar or exactly what we would post as a group.

Never cared for facebook, I know a lot of folks do like it but a forum atmosphere is more to my liking than one gigantic scrolling wall. This forum has its issues as far as functions I like to see in a board but at least it does have the archive of years of posts, searchable and somewhat grouped by thread title.

Good to know there are lots of worm lovin folks out there though.

"Free the worm"

Nexev: The worm group on Facebook is truly beautiful to behold. But as you say in way less than seven hours and more like seven minutes one's post has passed into oblivion with as you say no search possibilities soup for us. As the seconds change and new people post it is almost as if facts reported can be massaged this way or that way. The facts you mention are I guess why I post here not there on this particular topic. Other topics I post there. But they move too fast. The sense of foundation facts and history are weaker. Not that here is strong.

Maybe we could toss Facebook the "toxic" topic football and see what they do with it?
