It is important to consider that these groups are what you make of them. The group admins work hard to keep drama out of the discourse. However, combining human nature with social media makes it difficult for anything to be drama-free. The best decision is not to play into it or get involved since it won’t help you on your photography journey. It’s advisable to take the good away and leave the bad.
It is essential to understand that these groups include a wide range of members. Members can vary from those who have just picked up a camera to those who have made a very good living from photography. Don’t take criticism from someone you’d never go to for advice. Everyone’s likes and dislikes are different, and it’s unrealistic to expect universal appreciation of your work. Therefore, you can take CC (constructive criticism) from people whose work you love and find to be technically sound and ignore the rest.
Continue searching for Facebook groups that make you feel at home. So, off you go into the social media wild, and happy Facebook hunting!
