@patm can you share this account on MeWe (which is kind of counter intuitive but hey haha)?
And anyone who still uses instagram as well. I am going to wait till we have a couple more followers before I post anymore stuffâŚ

I strongly advise to confer with @MaciejBud on this! He has offered his help before and his company ExplainVisually.co is superb in creating infographics.

@patm I redid the book club banner to fit the âthemeâ of What the Tech. Let me know if there is anything I should change!

Thanks I love it.
This is an excellent direction for the community to follow and is remarkably sensible. Itâs the missing message, the stream that we would be following if existed. I could see a steam like this becoming virally popular, across many channels, and then sustaining itself even though donations as a public service.
Why not the community Instagram channel itself? Though what the tech sounds cool, the name is already taken. Using the Humane Tech Community name itself would bring both brand name recognition and people into the community. Not to mention it sounds official and also like a âcommunityâ of real people so would probably get more attention I suppose.

@Free I brought this up with @aschrijver before. He stated that using the official page would undermine the community message,which makes sense. The Community having an active Instagram page contradicts the Pyramids ect. âWhat the Techâ is a HTC project, more than an official account, if that helps clarify thingsâŚits more about having a place to publish things and raise awareness generally.
Maybe, to keep @aschrijverâs original terminology, we should use the word campaign. How about referring to this as the What the Tech campaign? I would like to post something on CHTâs Facebook page and refer to it that way. If I should use project instead, please LMK.

I agree with @Free, this should be posted by the official accounts of HTC, otherwise dispersion of channels and sources will be high, people would see multiple accounts and donât keep in mind the authors of the messages and recognize them as a whole community.

Whilst I do agree with concentrating messaging through standard channels, initiatives like should also be applauded. As a campaign, @sidnya could do this as a personal project, right?
And then ask for our support in sharing etc. and potentially even providing content.
Is there a process / plan for digital media campaigning (incl social) somewhere? Otherwise, should I start a thread for the CT and jot down some of my ideas?

The actual plan for a new awareness campaign is the following:
- start a new topic here about that
- once it gets some feedback and begins to gain some concreteness, start a new campaign on github
What now lacks is some uniform and centralized organization of the media channels, so that if we want to post a new msg it will spread at the same time and with the same content though all our channels.
Regarding dispersion of channels - i.e decentralized vs centralised multi-channel publishing - I have a cool idea - briefly mentioned in Campaigners Inbox and based on my prior topic âTurning the Weapon Aroundâ] - to start a FOSS project for this, that is highly actionable and already has a Githun organization account.
PS. I would highly appreciate if any of you would ping-pong larger changes in terminology and ideas with me, before changing direction. Maybe track a bullet list + topic refs. There is much to offload from my head still.
Heads up: The account grew quite rapidly over night, so it is not possible to shift the content from there to the HTC page. Also, the reason I created a seperate account is because I figured there was a different âbrandâ that HTC was going for. This can be classified as an HTC supported project, created by me.

To me the message of What the Tech is the same as the Humane Tech Community. And also I saw that the Humane Tech Community Instagram has no posts.

Thatâs exactly what I meant, think thatâs a good model to work with.

Option: We deactivate the old HTC account and convert What the Tech into the official account. That way there is no transfer of content necessary AND we keep the current following.

Fine with me; thank you, @sidnya
