One more thought on the social media part, do we really need someone for that? If we’re talking about Twitter/Facebook, I say no. Or if we’re talking about Matrix/Signal/Discourse, maybe we can clarify that as “chat/comms” b/c that seems like a much lighter lift.

UNCONTROVERSIAL POLL!

Is all social media good or bad???
  • Yes
  • No
  • This poll is a liar.
0 voters

Just throwing that in there to demonstrate how polls work because we talked about them. There’s actual documentation, if anyone cares to go deeper, or you can check out how we regularly use these on the farmOS forum:

And finally, just for funsies…

…I just created a @conveners group for all the folks listed here. If it’s annoying anyone can leave the group or we can delete/archive it if its not helpful. I made Juliet an owner along with myself, and anyone should be allowed to join as a member, too, so it’s just honor system for now I guess.

I cant vote in that poll Jamie… am I supposed to be able to click “Yes” or “No”?

Yea, I think I broke it somehow, haha. It might have to do with the min/max options I selected, trying to be clever. This is raw markdown the poll generator originally gave me, though I’ve tried editing it a few times since to no avail:

[poll type=multiple results=always min=2 max=3 public=true chartType=bar groups=trust_level_1 close=2023-09-13T16:45:00.000Z]
# Is all social media good or bad???
* Yes
* No
* This poll is a liar.
[/poll]

So maybe the outcome of this poll is: Let’s not use Discourse polls for community governance.
