FB/Private Group Migration Discussion

AerialmrsAerialmrs member
in September 2021 Moms
I think this was already brought up in the questions discussion, but I'm having trouble finding it, so I thought I'd move it to a place we can easily find and revive later if we're not ready to go yet. 

It looks like the August group is migrating soon, which would leave us as the farthest-along active group... this makes me a little more conscious, and with some recent drive-bys happening lately, I'm starting to feel a bit more self-conscious about what I'm sharing. Even regretting some of what I've already shared. Is anyone else feeling this way?

    I definitely don't foresee myself becoming less active over this, but I'm going to monitor the amount I share until we migrate to some kind of private group. I enjoy sharing and learning about you all, and I'm excited to get to know you all better once we have a more comfortable way to do so!

    I'm also torn, because I get the value of this being public, so that those who haven't found us yet can find us somehow and possibly become friends, but I feel like we've had the past 4+ months to get to know each other so it's already starting to feel weird when new people suddenly appear.

    I would not be opposed to starting the migration process either to a private group or facebook. My last bump group moved to a private bump board first and then FB a few months later. My first bump group went straight to FB. I have no complaints/issues with either way...but I agree, I would prefer a more private setting as we get further along and more comfortable sharing information, pictures, etc.

    there’s definitely more that I would share if we were in a more private setting but I am fine with whatever we decide to do- move to either place or stay for a little longer.

    Im on board with moving to Facebook soon. I find myself checking in less lately, not only because things have been a bit busy, but the Bump is one more place to go. I'm on Facebook daily, so I know I'd probably connect with you all more once we migrate.

    I'm on board with going more private. I am hesitant to share things like our final name choice or any photos until things are more private. 

    I'm fine with either a private group or facebook, but am far more active on facebook than message boards. I'm happy to follow the crowd though.

    I’m neutral on when but would prefer FB since the bump is so tedious. I do think it’s easier to open up in a private setting, especially about current children.

    I would prefer a PG first but I don’t mind going with the flow and doing what the majority wants.

    I'm good with moving soon too. I'm probably the odd one out, but I find myself posting on TB way more often than Facebook these days. I'll follow whatever the majority prefers though.

    Should we go ahead and do a poll?

    @Aerialmrs I think a poll would be good!

    I've never moved to Facebook this soon but I do feel like I'd be more active there since it's easier to check than TB.

    I would prefer Facebook just cause I find this app annoying! I’ve never been part of a bump group before so I don’t know what is “normal”, so I’ll
    just go along with the general consensus. 

    In terms of people finding the group, I would think that by the halfway point in your pregnancy you’d have gotten here already, no?

    @muggsd I agree that by halfway most everyone who wants to find a group like this already would have, but I feel bad potentially not including someone who could be another good contributor... but also, if there are long-term lurkers, I'd like to avoid sharing my info with them if they aren't willing to contribute.

    I’m happy to move and happy with wherever the group prefers. I definitely have held back from sharing as much as I would like because of the lack of privacy.

    I've never moved this early but I'm also easy, happy to go with majority.

    I also don't share as much on here, and I'm not as active because I'm not a huge fan of the bump app forums (aside from the fact that they're public). I would participate more if we were on Facebook. My other groups moved over closer to the end of third tri so this feels a bit too early, but I'm not totally against moving if everyone else is into it.

    I’m open to moving over early. My last BMB didn’t move over to FB until about 2 months before the earliest due date and only the women who were regularly active on the bump boards were allowed to join. But I’d be fine with moving over sooner than that! Let’s do a poll.

    I’m an infrequent poster and would definitely be more active on FB, if everyone decides to move over. The Bump is great for finding community, but as y’all have said, the app can be such a pain! I don’t check in nearly as often as I’d like, because of that.

    Hi friends! I have had a crazy rough first two weeks of May (work related), so I am just trying to catch up. I see both this post and the migration poll post - were any final decisions made on where we should go and how? I would love to stick with y'all!

    @JustAnotherUsername16 Don't feel sorry for me, mine's about to feel sooooooo good! Yesterday ended my last crazy work week before summer. This week I just need to catch up on a bunch of stuff, and then I'll be enjoying a breezy work schedule until August! Hallelujah!

    Aye, I missed a lot! I'd definitely be more active in a facebook group setting! I'm on there all the time versus getting on here lol

    I’m so ready to move to Facebook! I sometimes can’t get myself on here until I’ve missed a million conversations. Mom brain is coming in hot!
