Facebook isn't evil; it's too self absorbed for that. But it is toxic, and a place I avoid like the plague. I never joined the hidden group, and I'll likely pass on this one too, though being open beats being closed by a mile.
I find myself posting more on the Generational Dynamics forum than Eric's Facebook site. The blue people on Facebook just agree with me too much. Being the token blue in a red world is more interesting. The latest episode is that someone who believed global warming a hoax suggested I obviously knew nothing about climate history. I listed off eight or so factors effecting climate. Thus far, no response.
Someone could just open another forum on MyBB and have several moderators to keep a forum and mixed red / blue site alive. I have not felt the urge. yet.
It's hard to keep in touch with the reds that were here. Not many credible reds post here too often. They can be invited if we remember who they are, know their screen names here, and look them up.
Obviously, not too many people want to be drawn into the endless debates with Classic. They go nowhere, and it's mostly just 4 of us and him, and he never budges. Probably no-one read it anymore. But other reds have been here who are less pointless to discuss with, like Warren Dew.
On the FB forum I just started, a red one was the first to sign up. Mostly blue ones after that. But it's open and new people are coming in all the time, who may not be so easy to categorize.
This MyBB forum has so many difficult technical conditions in it, and I would probably not know how to correct them.
