Although I've never had a FB account, I do peruse the Apple II Enthusiasts group from time-to-time using my wife's account; she's threatened to stop feeding me if I ever post or comment on it, and so I don't. ;-)

While there is much activity there, I find a lot of it lacks the 'meat and potatoes' that we used to find here.

At the suggestion of Joshua Bell (of A2 Desktop revival fame), I went and signed up for a Slack account and find there is quite a bit of activity on the myriad of Apple II channels. Many of those posters are quite knowledgeable, too.

Again, I'd prefer everything be on comp.sys.apple2, but then again, I'm a dinosaur. And we know what happened to them.
