Among the problems: people frequently belong to several communities, and they don't act the same in all of them. But FB really wants to squish all those things together.
For example: I participate in various technical mailing lists. On one, I'm the sole moderator. In several, I'd like to think that I'm a valued, possibly even respected, contributor. And in others, I'm a lurker or just one step above.
None of those are my social groups, though. Nor are they my family, or my close friends.

I prefer to separate all of those.
