Why does this edit downplay the importance of Skype's audio-only and text chat modes? There are probably quite a few portable headsets that could be useful for audio (with, e.g., the official Skype app), though I don't have a specific example handy. The point is that removing the requirement for video potentially removes the requirement to be tied to a computer.
(Possible conflict of interest — that edit summary doesn't mention audio, though I have used it.) --Eighty5cacao (talk) 19:11, 16 February 2013 (CST)
Unfortunately, for those who are very outgoing, Facebook is used as the near-sole method of coordinating social events. This makes certain local meet-in-person-based communities very difficult to participate in if one refuses to use Facebook; as an example, the NorCal Cosplay Gathering group used to post their events on a forum with open registration, before switching exclusively to Facebook. So what's a good alternative to Facebook Events? (Once COVID-19 calms down) Ray Marina (talk) 10:42, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Facebook mandates that each user uses their legal name, and if a user is suspected of not using such they will be required to change it to their legal name or furnish proof of such. So that's another point against Facebook. This poses a problem for people who are transgender, or otherwise do not wish to use their legal name, often for privacy or security purposes such as avoiding being discovered by family or one's workplace.
