I simply won't participate in a community that insists all communication go through Facebook-owned channels. I have found that most hobbies and groups I participate in do send out their important info over E-mail as well as whatever they post to Facebook. I've never been embarrassed to go E-mail only. And if they really insist on FB, I just do without. It's not worth it. Be part of the solution, and all that.
