"...there’s no American Community Moderators Association" is 🤌🤌🤌🤌 too good.
Love that you all are thinking about how to reinforce existing digital communities with more sophisticated support! Particularly because it is so easy to feel siloed, like it's just a "New Hampshire" problem, or a "this one guy in the comments" problem. When trust was higher, we might not have needed backup, but we need creative solutions to almost help subsidize trust (especially through and *with* the trustbuilders) in this moment. Can't wait to follow along!
I totally agree with this. It’s something I always bring up in interviews: we clown on NextDoor, but FB groups/events, Nextdoor, local instagram pages, etc. are the best use case for social media. Seems like local social media was much more vibrant pre-Covid…I think in a lot of ways FB going out of fashion was a net negative for this reason

I'd love to connect and be involved, I've been doing a fair amount of research in relation to local communities.
