Just as a matter of interest, is there any interest in a Pentax Discussion Facebook Group?
I admin a FB group with over 800 members, it’s quite fun. Photos are posted daily and response is swift. Sure, you battle with the evil that is Meta, but if one is selective about viewing habits, it becomes a tool, just like camera gear…

Oh really?
Here’s a test:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/482940207253506
See if it garners any interest…
If not, it will be killed off.
Just a thought.

I use FB for other interests, and yes, it is far more active in the main. Some groups may go a few days without a post, others multiple posts daily.
Of course, Gen Z (or is it now Gen AA) decry FB, but I'm happy for them to use their Tik-Tok etc and leave FB to us old fogies.
I'd join a Pentax FB group like a shot, and might even post more images!

I used to post event images to facebook, but they made some changes and if anything I’ll post a link.
I use it out of necessity, but hate it with a luke warm passion. It regularly makes me miss livejournal before it was bought by the Russians.

Personally, I detest FB. I only have an account there because there is a contingent of old friends who have seemingly lost the ability to communicate any other way ( including answering the telephone without messaging them on FB first...!). Ugh. I'm there, in essence, because I value my old friends more than I despise the medium of communications.
Also, FB terms of service essentially give them 100% rights to use any photographs you post on their service any way they like in perpetuity with no compensation to photographers. I only post photos that I consider valueless there as a consequence.
I've not found any motivation to participate in any of the photo groups I've tried there. There seems to be little real conversation of any depth in them.
If the goal of a proposed FB group is to allow modern formatted text and photo sharing features in PDML communications, I would suggest moving the PDML to a modern list server with groups.io instead. I've helped move three other photo groups to this service and it's been 100% successful, including one that started on FB and left due to the terms of service issues.
