Facebook-Page
Hello everyone,
I've just stumbled over the Minetest Facebook page and recognized, that the last official entry was in 2012. Though I am not one of those Facebook fanatics, I know that there are a lot of potentially active gamers around. Seeing a thriving community will attract new players way easier than seeing a dead page.
It's just a suggestion to maybe post a few news there every once in a while. News about new features, mods, special server events and maybe even a "Screenshot of the Week/Month".

Good luck You're talking to a community that believes facebook and google are evil, and think their emails are safer from peering eyes on russian servers lol
[edit]
Someone asked me for clarification so i'll post it here. I think most countries probably spy on their citizens (and servers), even Zimbabwe. Hopefully no one got too offended.

No, I think that the internet is generally unsafe, but avoiding services like facebook that force/tempt the user to give their personal information away is a good thing.mauvebic wrote:and think their emails are safer from peering eyes on russian servers lol

I also think that the Facebook page needs more content and traffic. If people want (and if it's possible), I'd like to be some kind of "author" on it...

And, really, anytime someone tries to promote Minetest, the MC Army appears and basically destroys the page with bullshit.
In any case, Facebook is your necessary evil. More gamers equal more potential development, and more of that equals the fact that we'll get out of the lousy beta faster

Sometimes, it's harder to think up a mod than it is to create it.

Does anyone think Facebook might be about to die? I don't pay attention to it (since I don't use it), but I heard that some people feel that this is the case.

If it dies, there will be another to take its place anywayonpon4 wrote:Does anyone think Facebook might be about to die? I don't pay attention to it (since I don't use it), but I heard that some people feel that this is the case.
I made a few (a lot of?) mods for minetest: here is a list.
See also the MT-Faithful texture pack (work in progress).

MineCraft developer is calling it quits and coming to join the Minetest team... that is how likely it is that Facebook is going to die any time soon.
I would always say more exposure is better, in the context of an open source project but that's just my opinion.

1. The most superior block sandbox game. Have you played Minetest? It's the minetest!
2. The greatest in quantity. I scored the minetest haul of Mese last night when mining!

This topic shouldn't turn into a discussion about facebook...
I think we should really bring some more life to the/a facebook page. If we can't find out who made the current facebook page, we need to create a new one. I really like the idea of putting some Minetest related stuff on facebook and I also wish to contribute to the/a facebook page. Maybe together with some other community members? Who else would be interested?

I agree, it would be nice to see a solid presence on Facebook. Just because the mods and dev team don't like Facebook doesn't mean it's not a valid promotional tool. Obviously the forums will always be the number one source for information about Minetest.webdesigner97 wrote:This topic shouldn't turn into a discussion about facebook...

I think it is a great idea to get it going again, and to have some people start making some youtube videos. (aside from chainlynx) I think are community is kind of secluded, and we are not getting very many new people at all. I'd love to see minetest have an active community on other sites as well.
Back from the dead!
