According to my facebook this topic has had 156 comments on the EA facbook group already. I don’t want to repeat or diminish those comments here so what is the purpose of opening a parallel discussion here as this seems like a topic which has attracted a huge amount of EA discussion already?
Facebook requires that you give your real name to post an opinion, be part of the group etc. That is certainly a serious limitation to open discussion, and this topic in particular exacerbates that problem.
Not everyone will necessarily want to comment on this issue under their real name.
Also, I presume this forum exists because someone decided that something other than Facebook is required. Are we questioning this logic in general? Or are we making a special case of this issue? Why?
But if you would be so kind as to post anything you see as particularly relevant, I would appreciate it.
I’d be happy to join a slack channel. (I’m already on the .impact slack).
I think there’s some sort of RSS feed produced by FB groups. I’m going to look into subscribing to that, although I don’t know if there’s a way to write back to the group with that interface.

+1 this. Hate FB. EA is the only reason I semi-regularly think about returning.
That’s useful to know. What other online presence besides this forum would you recommend people use?
