Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Problems on Facebook?

[Katie Henry (katie-henry]

Is your Facebook page a page or a group? I don't entirely understand the 
difference, but ours are groups. This means we can approve new members and 
control who posts and the level of moderation. If someone posts something 
inappropriate or irrelevant, we immediately delete the post and ban the poster. 


I would be aggressive about deleting the ugly stuff (cults, communes, etc.) 
from your posts and banning the trolls. It can only hurt you to leave it in 
there. Maybe address one "cult/commune" post with a level-headed explanation of 
the differences and nuke the rest of them. It seems to be the same two or three 
people making all the posts. Get rid of them. There's no way you can change 
your content to reduce the trolling.

Hello helpful cohousing fans, I am part of a forming community (Burns Village 
and Farm) in Tennessee.  We have been advised to post on Facebook more often, 
and to use boosts to reach out to find people who are looking for cohousing 
communities.  Some posts, and especially my most recent one, attract people who 
are hostile. There are comments about our community being a scam or cult, some 
that veer into national politics to criticize what we are offering.  Do you 
have suggestions for content that will be informative and less likely to 
trigger anti-cohousing posts?
