I did wonder why people joined so many pointless groups.
I think it would likely bring more facebook randoms here. Not really sure what the aims of the place are in that regard. Presumably we DO want to encourage rationality outside our own little clique, so bringing more people here would be good. But presumably we also don’t want to drown in trolls and noise and idiots and spam which is what tends to be the final result of that kinda recruitment drive.
Probably should figure out what the plan is for that before you start, effectively, advertising on facebook I reckon.
For reasons associated with signalling affiliations—the same as with most such groups.
Oh, so like a badge to put on your profile page.

The OB group has 231 members. There will be a LW group—but who will make it?
It’s arrived. To quote from its “wall”:
“Wow, I am so happy that there is a Facebook group!”
