Well, with nothing more than a link I'm not going to follow, it's completely useless to me. I'm not that good at cryptic crosswords, either.

Some context would be nice

Don't have Facebook.

You don't have to have Facebook to see it.

 

It's a group with 360k members posting pictures and asking questions about bass guitars.

When I try and view it in my usual browser (I have a separate browser just for looking at Facebook and nothing else). I get a massive pop-up covering the content asking me to log in and accept cookies.

well I've clicked to join, see what happens, though if it's not strongly moderated it'll finish up full of spam.

Facebook is good for advertising gigs but not a lot else, unless you enjoy looking at others peoples holiday snaps and their meals

There is a tiny white cross hidden in the top right. Designed to fool people into believing they have to sign up. 

 

Common behaviour on a lot of sites now. Should be banned.

Not for me. Just a drop down menu that would allow me to change the language.

Basses and Amplifcation group is OK. Founder member but didn't want to be a moderator / administrator cos I try to limit my Facebook involvement. Also trying to get away from being 'utilised' by Google.
