[nabs-l] running an FB group

[Sam Nelson]

Hi everyone, 

 Am going to be starting a group  on FB for those who have mental illness.
Any disability in addition or other issues are welcome! 

 Have used e-mail lists since starting my blind mental health group in 2013.
Unfortantely e-mail lists seem to have fell off the earth  in general. In an
informal survey I did about people's preferred ways of getting support
online many had no idea what an e-mail list even was. 

 Still I tried starting other general support groups but with no good
effect. 

 I was restisant to starting an FB group because I saw so much drama in
there but I think that's on the mods to handle. Am just wondering how easy
it would be to run/ set settings and things. I'm only used to the e-mail
group platform like groups.io yahoo ETC. 

 Am hoping to get a sighted mod or two as an extra pair of eyes to make sure
things are ok.  And that people aren't posting photos and then not even
describing them. 

 Anyway am just wondering any good  tips for the ins and outs of running a
group? Would want as much as possible to be able to handled over e-mail but
my very techy friend said that's not possible. I remember a couple years
back I got notifications about things and I still get something saying
people's birthdays I know. So wonder if it's just a setting wrong. Am so
used to just working with e-mail guess I'll just have to have the mobile
site open on my computer all the time. I don't have a smart phone or
anything. 

 So  yeah any thoughts are good.
