Hi Charles, There's also https://groups.io/ I am part of a couple of research communities that use that. Peter. On 22/11/2020 19:22, Richard Forno wrote:
Hi Charles --
Dreamwidth might be an option, which is where many LJ'ers fled after that Russian company bought them and started mucking with things. To my knowledge it doesn't 'touch' FB ... but presumably there are others out there as well.
(On a side note, I wish Twitter offered LJ/DW-like privacy granularity instead of the all-or-nothing option.)

Dear AoIRists,
I hope this finds you well, despite it all.
I'm wanting to know if any of you have good experience and can thereby recommend alternatives to a Facebook closed or secret group - i.e., a platform that offers the functionalities of these, but avoids entanglement with FB?
Yes, I have some realization that, to put it in Montanan, there ain't nothin' pure, especially in the online world. But there are greater and lesser degrees of entangelement, and these may be relevant to the project I have in mind.
Many thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions you can share.
best, - charles ess
