Yes, many millions of people still use Facebook.people still use facebook?
What do you mean by Groups Add-on? Pulling Facebook Groups into a XF widget? Syncing posts? To me, it's like mixing oil and water, so don't really see the point.This is why I wish XF had a groups addon. My forum members love them. Sure there are addons that do this and that is what I’m using now, but I’ve had to transition to new group addons twice after those devs stopped pushing our updates.
Is this finally the end of my forum? I have a few groups I run on Facebook and this feature just popped up today. after my forum started slowing down a few years ago, I created a group on the same niche as my forum, I'm thanking myself I did. You can now manage posts within your Facebook group. I think this may be the beginning of the end folks!

That was pre GDPR, right? Pretty sure data portability is one of the major aspects of GDPR.Not sure if anyone else sees it the same way I do, but 3rd party hosted content/discussions doesn't have portability in the data if you want to move it else where in future. You could spend 1000s of hours, money and effort in promoting and building up a 3rd party hosted discussion group i.e. facebook, google and other groups and have it one day all gone if the company hosting it changes it's policies or direction.
Maybe for folks starting out their 3rd party hosted groups won't see this at the beginning. But it's something to think about too. My Centmin Mod Xenforo forums experienced such as I originally started on Google+ Discussion group and built the community to 300+ users and there was the start a community. But when I switched to Xenforo, I had to restart the community from scratch and loose that Google+ Group I built and it's content - though some of the group members did follow me to my Xenforo forum.
Just some food for thought
No, you're thinking about personal data, not posted content. This post is not personal information. And then -- GDPR only applies to EU citizens, not the world. Your name, address, email, phone, etc, that is portable -- deletable. Everything else... nope.Pretty sure data portability is one of the major aspects of GDPR.
