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.Katie HenryHeartwood Commons - TulsaWhere construction activity is

(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?
