448 – Why are Creators Leaving Facebook – and Should You?
With Facebook’s recent policy changes and reduced content moderation, many creators are asking:
Is Facebook still the right place to grow my platform?
In this episode, I sit down with Tonya Kubo, a seasoned online community strategist and leader of one of the largest decluttering communities on the platform, to unpack why so many creators are reconsidering Facebook—and whether you should be, too.
We talk about the hidden costs of relying on Facebook’s automated enforcement, what happens when your group gets flagged (even unfairly), and how creators can start building community resilience before they need it.
If you’re an author or aspiring author building a platform online, this is your call to rethink what ownership really means in your digital space.
