Bamboo vs Facebook groups

A feed full of noise and ads - or a curated community of real people?

Facebook groups are where Israel organises everything, which is also why they are unusable for meeting anyone: the algorithm decides what you see, the ads outnumber the posts, and nobody is verified. Bamboo keeps the community and drops the feed.
