I used to think Facebook Group Badges were just flashy little icons meant for people obsessed with recognition. You know, the kind who want their name highlighted in bold letters. But that changed in 2025 when I reluctantly joined a niche group on Facebook for visual storytellers mostly creatives and …
It started with just five of us. We were a small group of indie musicians trying to stay connected, share our work, and support each other. I created a Facebook Group one late night thinking, this will be easy. Just post updates, welcome new members, and keep the spam out. …
I still remember the moment I hit “Create Group” on Facebook. It was supposed to be a small support group just a few people sharing experiences around a sensitive health issue. I didn’t think much about the privacy setting at the time. I left it public, thinking it would help …
