In your case you would have to go to an E-Mail list... which for some takes more time to curate / read versus something that is driven by push notifications.
Well of course. And, guess what - we have one at church. But, being a church (meaning volunteers handling things) it is quick and easy for things to “just happen.” What’s to stop #RandomSundaySchoolTeacher from starting a FB group for Sunday school kids/parents? Nothing. And then people glom onto it, and it becomes quasi-permanent and semi-official. Ultimately it comes down to something which is definitely lacking in today’s world: A brain. Otherwise known as “common sense” or “critical thinking.” One cannot solve a “people” problem with technology. We all know that. PEBKAC or “layer 8” problems. We’ve all been there. They aren’t going away. They will only get worse. -Andy
