The operation of this system was similar to that of Discord in general with these different categories and These channels for text, voice and video chats.
But Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. Community chats coming soon in Messenger and Facebook groups.

Sessions scheduled for this week, or possibly a “Lake” category devoted to freshwater practice.
Note that these community chats will come with: several inspection tools This allows admins to delete messages, block, mute or ban group members. Also, managers set custom criteria to automate auditing (prohibition of certain terms, insults, etc.).
