Hello World

Thought I'd give this a go and see how well this works as an alternative to FB.

Welcome from the Netherlands.
I'm a new user too, till a week ago, I never thought there was an alternate universe for Fb ! Pretty well hidden, according to the fact it already exists for some years!
It's good to be here.

It looks really nice once you change the theme from blaring white. I'm trying to convince friends to join this so they can start using it and making it more popular. Hopefully they will join some time.
Same here. Really hoping to find or help make a viable alternative to Facebook.

This could work if they try and make groups a prominent part of the system. I think that was the one thing that most people don't want to lose is their groups that they have been using for years and years.

Yes, they have their problems of being echo chambers, but hey also help for local communities getting together and doing really amazing things. Cycling is one of those that I've seen.

I expected to be a relatively early user of this site and to cajole friends to join. So far I'm not aware of any who have. But I agree that it would help a lot if something like groups existed here or were more obvious if they do. I've moderated a couple of groups on FB before I left and would gladly do so here. It would really help build community.
