@Stonekettle @starbreaker. I have often wondered... If Facebook only got links to articles on your website, couldn't you maintain a presence there but limit their ability to impact it? While boosting traffic to your own site?
I am sure you have reasons for thinking it unwise. I also know you don't owe any of us an explanation, but I doubt I am the only one wondering why. I would read your eloquent brilliance on any platform.
