If yes, are you an active participant in the discussions going on there. I used to be in the very beginning when I joined which was more than a year ago but I have reduced my time on the app since to literally a few minutes a day, so I am quite inactive in terms of posting and commenting.
How about you? And what do you think about such Facebook groups in general? I personally prefer the forum here, where things are a bit more civil.

I don't care for facebook groups at all.

I barely care for facebook, if there weren't family and friends to get in touch and communicate, I would have deleted it long ago.

Facebook ruined forum culture. In general, social media created safe & boring spheres around the individuals. I feel lucky to be a witness and participant of the internet forum culture for nearly 2 decades. I don't post anything on Facebook anymore, and even when I was doing it, I wasn't using it for socialization.

I still use Twitter, but as I said such platforms are not like "social medium" for me. Twitter is a great source for acculturation, specifically. 

I still love the "diminished" forum culture too.

I've never used facebook, so no idea. I do keep an eye on the r/progrockmusic reddit page though, that's OK - but prefer this place really.

And I feel you've made a great choice, you haven't missed anything.

I like looking at book's faces. We used to call them front covers.
