It would be interesting to see Facebook Groups divorce from Facebook itself. Maybe allow people to login using an Instagram or Whatsapp identity, or better yet an independent login.

I don't really want my group activity to be linked to my Facebook identity for tracking/advertising purposes.

An Instagram account is as bad as a Facebook account, if not worse.
How is it worse? From a privacy perspective they're both terrible and the data flows to the same Meta servers, but Facebook demands you use your real name (and demands photo ID if it thinks it's fake) while Instagram doesn't care.
