I'm aware of a couple of those, and I've seen some good stuff on them. But it seems like information of Facebook isn't really searchable. My Apple II goto are CSA2 and CSA2PROGRAMMER. For one, I can read and post from my IIgs, which I really enjoy, and two, Google Groups (despite its spam) is searchable. I can later (on a modern PC) search these groups for previous entries like "How to move the @ sign?" and get back into it, sometimes years later.  I also enjoy the Apple II telnet sites. Captains Quarters is great. A few years ago I used to really get into A80SAPPLEIIBBS but unfortunately that site disappeared. It was a great site. It's always interesting to see someone from the CSA2 groups on the telnet sites. I guess my big kick comes from connecting with an Apple II, asking a question about the software I'm using, and having the author of that software reply, which I can then read on my Apple II!

So, usenet and telnet sites for me.  Social media just doesn't tick the right boxes.

Just my views, thanks for reading,

Matt
