While typically, neighbors on Facebook have been using the company’s Facebook Groups product to post updates with their local community, the Neighborhoods project had involved special features, like subprofiles for members and appointed moderators who would review comments and posts, among other things. > The company said it initially invested in Neighborhoods because it saw how popular local content was on its platform. But ultimately, Facebook realized the best way to move forward in this area was to allow people to continue to use Facebook Groups, as they had been doing.
