As many of you know, the drive by posts seem to have had an uptick. I’m proposing a private group, that way everybody knows each other’s expectations and we can start to get to know each other on a deeper level. This is just to gauge interest in one. 😊

I actually didn't know private TB groups were a thing, I would like that better than another FB or WhatsApp group, so I appreciate that clarification.
first then did the switch the FB.
That said, it does seem too early to privatize the group. I also am not a fan of the way TB private groups function, especially if accessing them from TB app. What if we just followed suit in responding to one-off posts? Maybe if we all respond similarly, or don't respond all together, they'll stop?
And maybe as long as they're posted in the right place, not giving too much flak for posting a question that's already been asked, since it's been mentioned that it's hard to search threads on your phone.
As far as organization...I think there have been a few posts that have been well meaning, the example that comes to mind is the prenatals. I could very clearly tell the poster was trying to make it a discussion rather than just a "hey let me get my question answered and ditch". I think seeing the responses about posting in the question thread made me feel a little bit of a "you can't sit with us" vibe. I find myself worrying about if I'm going to post the wrong thing in the wrong place and someone is going to call me out and I'm going to not want to participate anymore. I totally get wanting organization, however I also get that questions in the question thread get maybe one or two responses and don't always result in a discussion the way a separate post can. Do I want it to be the wild wild west and everyone who is anyone come and ask if we see a penis on a ultrasound, or if we are also having sore breasts, no. maybe somewhere in the middle where we can have smaller threads that might result in more back and forth interactions.
I'm not trying to offend anyone. One of my downfalls is I'm very much a people pleaser and don't want to hurt anyone feelings.
