Why should we Commons contributors participate in a discussion on Facebook, a corporation that has generated great wealth for its founder by distributing advertising that includes democracy-destroying and hate-filled propaganda? It is antithetical to the principles of most of our participants. I’m profoundly disappointed that a discussion on Facebook would be promoted by the office of GLAM and Structured Data, Wikimedia Foundation.
Best wishes,
Walter

I also see some irony in advice from a platform that being generous can be described as having lost its way many years ago, yes we can learn from the mistakes of others. As others have said collectively we are capable of amazing things, we are doing something special as we look forward we mustn't lose sight what our purpose is and our goals are.
