I don't use either of those. I only use the Sufficient Self, Backyard Chickens and Backyard Herds. Along n with the The Cat Site every so often.

Forums definitely. FB groups are a pain and most of them are so full of off-topic nonsense and it's dang near impossible to find anything in there without scrolling yourself to death.

Well said
It's sad to see forums go..

Depends. I'm invested in this forum and one other - and receive excellent advice and guidance from both. I also use FB groups freely for other topics and with much less investment and benefit. I group-hop in FB groups. Most groups are limited in scope, so I'd stay in a group for a week or a month until I'd gained as much as possible, and then hop to the next group in a progression on a single topic.

I stay in this forum because the topics are so varied and I'm always learning something new - even after 8 years! The other forum I stay in is highly specialized with support I can't get elsewhere.

I am really only on this forum at this point. I haven't been on FB for... Probably 8 years so I don't even know how it works anymore but the drama is a bit much from what friends say.

Hey @tortoise do you know any good homeschooling forums?

Haven't been on Facebook in 10? years.. I go to forums with questions or to read. Hardly ever on the computer unless I'm looking up something specific. I've spent more time here this month than I have on all other computer sites combined.

@NH Homesteader , I like Gifted Unschoolers FB group. The group owner also has a blog. No drama on either. I also like Davidson forum, which is not homeschool specific although there are many homeschoolers. Homeschooling groups and forums tend to be drama and BS. I avoid them.

I only use FB for groups. I deactivated my FB for a long time, but went back for a local buy/sell/trade group.

Both. Different tools for different tasks
