I have a facebook account, they can be set up with false identities for those suffering from paranoia
It allows me to join various groups on subjects of my interest; railways, local music venues, local community, local history and others. RMWeb has a facebook page giving information on site problems. I've even had a quick response to a question from PECO.
You don't have to accept any facebook 'friends'.
As an example 'Grosmont MPD News' https://www.facebook.com/groups/878824592263336/ has daily updates of maintenance and repairs carried out at the shed and I find it an enjoyable waste of my time.
