SocialMediaPolicy
Use of social media
[DRAFT of a votable point for a future ALV]
Goal
There are various social-media channels created with the "Techinc" name/branding. We want to use these social-media to generate awareness of Techinc its activities and values to non-members that would otherwise not know of our existence.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Meetup
- Mastodon
- Radar.squat.net
Implementation
We create a "Propaganda Committee" (PropCom) that maintains those accounts.
We kindly request members who currently control those accounts to relinquish control to the PropCom once it is established.
The explicit goal of PropCom control of social media is to expand the reach of Techinc beyond the "in the know" community without making these platforms a source of unique content. PropCom will use the platforms to repost content that is already available on techinc.nl to these platforms, linking back to Techinc's infrastructure. Any conversations with members on these platforms should be referred to wiki, mailing-lists or IRC when appropriate. It's explicitly frowned upon to create unique content on these external platforms.
PropCom members are kindly invited to automate platform interactions. Techinc members are not to be encouraged to use these platforms in active ways by PropCom.
PropCom will consist of 3 members, elected by the ALV vote. This can have overlap with board members, but board members cannot have a majority vote in the PropCom.
