For those wondering why here when there are so many groups on social media?
Here’s the TL;DR of it…
Facebook has become completely “pay to play.” - Engagement is way down and it’s nearly impossible to get our content seen without putting money behind every post (which is just silly). When someone joins your group, they’re casting a vote to want to hear from you…. but FB doesn’t seem to listen. We want you to be notified of the things you’re interested in, so you can get the most value from our group.
Blocking by Twitter/ Telegram. I personally know many OSINT researchers and writers who put out content daily and there accounts have been blocked by these tech companies and they have to change their ways to put out useful content. This community is invite only. So no worries here.
Limiting distractions - There are a million shiny objects & squirrels on the platform & you’re probably there mainly to keep up with your family & close friends anyway. Plus, it’s awesome to be able to have all community notifications in one place & not have them buried in a sea of other biz & personal stuff that’s all mish-moshed together. I am trying my best to organize this space to make sense of everything, i will definitely need your suggestions and guidance to improve it more.
Increasing engagement - This community platform has so many ways for you to stay engaged, including push and email notifications, a phone and desktop app, & they’re adding more exciting features. You can opt into what you care to stay updated on and engage in more meaningful ways, which I think is fabulous. I want THIS to be your go-to space for home business support & community. As we get this space going, we’ll be able to do some pretty cool things in here.
It is so damn hard to look for good OSINT resources in heap of data.
Social media is changing & we need to adapt.
