I haven't noticed any negative impact since giving facebook the boot

How do you find out about events, gigs and stuff happening in your town?

So if Facebook shut down everyone would just be staying home confused about what to do ?

Anyway in Australia at least we have sites like this: https://www.broadsheet.com.au

Pretty sure every city does too.

If Facebook shuts down people would flock to an alternative.

If Facebook bans people here and there, the rest of the crowd won't give a shit.

That is the problem.

My town has a website for events, music, comedy, etc.

Even when I used facebook I never used it for gigs or anything.
