Social media channels of the Humane Tech Community

Central Vision & roadmap
, , ,
1

This topic lists the social media channels we will use in campaigning for the community itself (i.e. as part of the Aware Prepare dogfooding campaign). Through these channels our @Campaigners will create messages to the broader public.

Do you want to be a Campaigner too? Here’s more information:

Call for Action: Join the Humane Tech Awareness program - From Awareness to Cultural Awakening!

We would be delighted if you joined our awareness program :smiley:

Note: The topic is locked for discussion, but our Community Team will add updates if there are changes and additions to our public channels.

Update

As of August 24, 2020 I will continue this account under my personal name. I’ve spent a lot of time on this channel, and it is the one that I value most. The Fediverse - where Mastodon is part of - is imho where the future of social media lies.
There will not be many changes to how I operate this account, except that I will be more free in sharing personal anecdotes and things like that, instead of being in a more formal organization role.

Social media channels the Community won’t have

  • A Facebook account, as these can only be bound to real individual
  • A Facebook Page, as we have The Center for Humane Technology page already
  • A Medium account, as we’ll create our own blog space
    • People publishing here can cross-post on their own blogging channels

Time to ditch Twitter?

I don’t use our twitter account that often, and dislike the platform in general. With Twitter going cryptocurrencies and NFT directions it may be time to close the account. Undecided, but posting this here as reminder for later…

I started a Humane Tech community on Reddit a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/humane_tech/
It wasn’t created under the Humane Tech Community “brand”, but I’d be happy to share the moderation role with others from this community.
