Disclaimer: I am not in this Facebook group, and don’t want to be.
@GloPro I could see it being a problem if a brand new Fluther member (or old member in new guise) is admitted to the group, finds out everyone’s real-life identity, then causes shenanigans. There have been some crazy, unstable people on fluther in the past. If I were in the group, an open door policy would probably worry me.
It is a Facebook group, not an extension of Fluther. There is no reason why everyone on Fluther should be automatically admitted. Why shouldn’t people who have become friends on Fluther should be able to communicate via separate social media platforms, in whatever way they choose?
