#Facebook Community

It was announced by Mark Zuckerberg that Meta is testing the new Community Chat for Facebook Groups through Messenger and it’ll be rolled out for everyone to try in the coming weeks. It might be confusing because the terminology of Community chat is very similar to the Group Chat in Messenger, but to give perspective to it, think of Community Chat as more like Meta’s own version of Discord. We're building Community Chats as a new way to connect with people who share your interests. Vanessa Yaegar, an admin of the Women Who Surf Facebook Group is already trying the Community Chats to have real-time discussions and meet up with its members. As reiterated by Meta, Community Chats are for group members only. Facebook is also improving and providing moderation tools to make sure that admins have control over their Community Chats. Meta is set to shake up how we view fact-checking by testing its new Community Notes feature on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads starting March 18th in the US. With around 200,000 potential contributors already on the waitlist, Meta is clearly betting on community consensus to deliver a less biased, more balanced approach to verifying information.
