Facebook doesn't have the community feel. And maybe it was being anonymous here at first then easing into knowing people better that makes it more of a community feel. I know I lurked for a very long time before testing the waters.

The other Facebook things that don't work for discussions for me are the feeds moving so fast. So if say someone posts something actually interesting that I want to comment on but I don't have time then. It's very hard to go back later and remember what it was. Also a lot of the time here the initial post or subject may be something I think I'm not interested in. But the later posts and comments either change my mind or have morphed into something good. With Facebook I'd never know that because if I didn't comment on the initial post I can't really follow it.

Also their constant changing of things and the inability to ever just get all the posts people make to show up in your feed is frustrating. No matter how many settings I change I still miss things.

Just thought of this one too. LoT is sorted by category. I can choose what things I want to look at. I'm pretty sure I've never opened the cute animal thread. Not my thing, not really interested so it's ignored by me. I don't have to weed through a billion meme's and other crap to look for actual posts. I'm on a bunch of diabetic parent groups on Facebook. But even there it's so difficult to go back and find information. Or look just for threads with information that's pertinent to me without reading all the posts.

Also people here can write complete sentences and words. Heck most of us can even hit the return for paragraphs and use grammar most of the time. Some of the posts on Facebook can be almost unreadable.
