Over the years, I have been involved in many professional and social groups, both virtual and in person. Inevitably, people come and go. Some stay forever, others come sporadically, while a few come just once and disappear as they feel the group is not for them. In any event, nobody has any obligation to the group.
I have been involved in a video chat group for Bob Dylan enthusiasts. We started meeting in person at NYU in Fall 2019. The group became virtual in 2020 when everyone confronted the COVID-19 pandemic. We use Google Meet once a month for our gatherings. It allows a free video chat for one hour. Several people have come and gone over the past 6 years.
I just accessed a Bob Dylan Facebook group to try to recruit new people. I gave the login information to 5 people who expressed an interest. Another issue is that people say they will come and then not show up. We will see what happens. Many groups disband after losing too many people.
