Joomla has a Facebook Group too. An alternative support channel where you can post the issues you're facing and get them solved by the community members.

Like in every Facebook Group, there are guidelines to keep the group spam-free and productive. So, just make sure, you are not spamming with your services or products, otherwise, you will get banned immediately without any prior intimation.
