@Pioneer1 First you definitely put you money (and energy) where your mouth is. As a request participant and financial supporter of this site. YOU are one of the reason I still run this forum. Thank You!
Facebook has a bunch of advantages;
It is, by design, addictive. People can spend hours scrolling through their feed, as a result they have amassed a large audience.
It is easier, faster, cheaper to establish a Facebook page creating and maintaining a website, as as result many have migrated away from websites to Facebook. OFTEN I have to go to a author/business/event/bookstore Facebook page because I can obtain what I'm looking for more easily than I can from their own website.
White folks run Facebook. If Facebook was Black-owned, or God forbid targeted Black people, it would have died a long time ago.
Facebook has access to investors and the capital markets.
I could go on but if AALBC discussion forums had 100 Pioneers we would not be having this conversation. Nor would you have to worry about your privacy, psychometric manipulation, or any of the crap Facebook get away with.
