There is 5 times more members in the group "Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT)" (9800) in Facebook than in the group "Existential risks" (1880). What we should conclude from it?
Nothing. I don't think facebook membership counts are a good measurement.
Or possibly they are accurate measurements of the rates of Facebook use among these two groups. Maybe it's a good thing if people who are concerned about existential risk do serious things about it instead of participating in a Facebook group.
The success of a Facebook group depends a lot on how it get's promoted and whether there are a few people who care about creating content for it.
Is the 'success' of a group its number of members, regardless of actual activity?
I don't think I would need to define it that way for the above comment to be coherent.
Of course not. Then you meant simply the success of the goals of the group's creators?
I think my sentence is true with both definitions of
success.
