I am part of a nonprofit organization (some kind of admin for my village)
which provides internet access in my town(village) and  until a few months
ago there was a page (official page of our organization) which works for
all of our members even when there has been some issue with connectivity.
Ok if the issue has been between member and organization servers it would
not work, but still work in other cases or I have been able to find out
what is wrong just by looking at that page. But now they have published
all internet outages on facebook page, so I am not aware of them. And even
all my mates from the village who do not have another internet provider.

Other issue is they have some events (I always have been part of all events
before), but because those events now are on facebook it is really hard to
me to participate

So from my point of view FB is the worst thing for community or
organization in some cases.
