I do not participate in any SM sites. Looked at many FB groups for cards and there is NFW I would ever trust doing business there. I do not feel the same about this site. Count me in as one who thinks Leon does an excellent job keeping us all in line! Not sure there is a comparison for the amount of experience and knowledge that is here. My sense was that the FB groups are full of a bunch of 18 to 35 year olds who each have 2 phones and 7 apps running 19 hours a day.

If anyone knows of a good book that has been published with photos of the faces of old time baseball players, please tell. I would love to know about just such a facebook.

If not for Facebook I wouldn’t have learned about these armadillo eggs. They are absolutely delicious! I love this site way more than Facebook except for the ease of posting pictures from your phone. Other than that small item I’ll take this site all day everyday over Facebook.

Net54 qualifies as a social media site. Beyond card discussions, there has been a thread where people showed photos of their dogs and there is a watercooler section where people talk about all sorts of topics.
An interesting aspect for me about Facebook is I have Russian and Ukrainian friends and colleagues in Russia and Ukraine who post about their personal experiences in the current war. One is in the besieged city of Kherson with her family, and another is a Ukrainian who was living in Moscow and fled to France. Facebook is what you make of it.

I've purchased a few cards off of Facebook through a group run by Daniel Harmon. I've had nothing but positive experiences but in practically all cases, it's very transactional. I have made some nice connections on there though, with a handful of individuals, but they are few and far in between.
Here is a much more social place, I feel like I am part of a community and though all of us recognize the business side of the hobby, all of us seem to have a very healthy appreciation for it as well. I also feel like I've developed a stronger connection with a general community and members of the hobby on here, as opposed to on Facebook. All in all, two very different places. It treat the facebook listings, as I would treat eBay listings in most cases. While the main focus might be cards here, the real treat is the community that Leon and so many others have built. Certainly made the time during the pandemic much more bearable. I'll also say this much, one of my favorite things to do when I wake up, or when I come home from work, is hitting the "new posts" button, to see what is going on here. Feels like walking into a bar, where it's nothing but the regulars that you always enjoy seeing!
