10287 is one brake bleed away from returning to the bits of asphalt between the potholes that pass for roads in Central New York.

FB Groups are a time suck. No real search feature. No real topic list. Just scrolling, scrolling, scrolling and clicking, clicking to get the comments to show. 3 hours later and still nowhere near an answer that you were looking for. I gave up on it a few years ago and continue live here.

In my experience (mostly in the Time Machine Builders group), Facebook search works pretty well.
I have my own gripes... namely that my "Groups" feed has 75% of its posts coming from groups I am not a member of, but Facebook wants me to be so I use the app more. (E.g. Ghostbusters Proton Pack Builders group, which I have no interest in, but there must be some overlap in users between that group and the Time Machine Builders group). And being in DeLorean groups was the first time I ever had to look up whether FB had a Block function... it does, and a few strategic uses of it have made my experience in DeLorean groups pretty great since then.
I like the move to FB private chats. It eliminates the desire for control by eliminating mods completely. Those of us who just wanted a place to cut up and chat as if we were all in the same room got just that. No fear of one person complaining to a mod who in turn locks the thread because of one lone voice with his panties in a wad because someone said "Trump" or "Gun". If one of us has an issue, we have live access to vendors...if the answer gets lost in the noise and you can't find it...ask again. It's a live conversation that goes on pretty much 24/7.
The way I see it, this way everyone is happy. Those who like big brother monitoring and keeping everyone in check according to their own compass, get just that. Those of us who like to chat with friends without a "hall monitor" have our place. Everyone wins. Life goes on...and locked threads are a thing of the past.
