Do I have to use FaceBook to access community content?
If so, that is entirely unfair, for both content posters and downloaders.
Some people have had a VERY bad experience with FacePlant, and would rather chew our own arms off than enter its "all content posted belongs to us" hellscape of good luck ever trying to protect your rights as a creator.
Why not post content on DeviantArt or some other hosting domain that does not claim ownership of whatever you post. Membership is still required, but it's not tied to that vampire of copyright, namely FaceBooger.
What say we support other means of downloading community content?

I'm not sure where you have got that impression from, but we don't provide community content on FB.
All content is accessed either through this forum, or via the Profantasy webpage.
The links given here:
All appear to require a facebook login, which denies access to those of us (as I said) who've had bad FaceBook experiences they do not wish to encounter again, I'd like an alternative.
There are plenty of host platforms (Google, AWS S3 Bucket store, DeviantArt, etc.) that provide a (both monetarily and copyright) free and secure content hosting service, without the baggage of FB. Could we have an alternative to the FB monopoly? I'm tired of playing.
Those are user maps that have been posted in the private FB Group rather than here on the forum. There are some people who don't like forums almost as much as some people don't like FB.
These user maps belong to the people who map them, not the community.
We have a Community Atlas here and lots of free assets here. These things are community content
Ok, but non-FB users still get snubbed in what I thought was an open community. Either a sharing community is open or it is not.
Oh well, never mind.
Most users are members of both the forum and FB, but there are a lot of people who just can't stand traditional forums.
Like I said, never mind.
But I'll let you into a secret. The real techs are here. I always seem to be telling people to come to the forum because I can't solve the problem myself on FB.
I appreciate it. Tell them if they want some extra hands in setting something up, I'm unemployed and would love to talk to them.
I'm a long time user of most of your products and can't complain about them AT ALL. ProFantasy is ACES-away the best!
So there.
Yup, the majority of us hang out here.
There are 873 maps at the Atlas.
