I don't think many FB groups are invitation only or require a private
request to a moderator to be added. But to post, you do have to join by
clicking a "Join this group" button.
That said, FB is generally not a venue where long, substantive
discussions take place. Its tiny message boxes encourage people not to
write anything longer than two lines. You can post a longer message--the
box expands to some extent--but many people don't. The other thing
about FB is that its basic setup, the culture the company has strongly
encouraged, is for people to get torqued about how many people "like"
what they say (and by extension themselves), which also does not
encourage substantive discussion. Collecting likes is silly and
juvenile, but it does appeal to something in human nature. There is no
real substitute for Majordomo and Yahoo type groups.

there are options if you don't want to set up an open group.
FB doesn't have to be a black hole.

Yes, https://www.facebook.com/groups/gbacg/ and each Guild event often has
it's own FB event announcement.

Does h-costume have a presence on facebook? Someone was just asking for an
all-era sewing group, not just for patterns, not just for challenges, but a
place to discuss and ask questions.
Thanks!
