Good day tropers!
We are looking for knowledgeable volunteers to become the moderators of our Facebook

Social Media Moderators will also get their own mod slack channel to talk to each other, myself and the other mods. They will also get their names added to /KnowTheStaff
in their own section and get a special corresponding badge once my badge update is pushed up soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Okay, thought about it a bit, I don't think I should be a full on social media moderator now.
I just don't trust myself with what I say nowadays since I have a history of saying stupid things that backfire due to missing something or a misunderstanding, or getting flat out thumped to protect my dignity. I don't think that will be good in a position all about being good at talking.
But on the art side, I'm still planning to contribute to that. Drawing art for announcements, special events, etc that I will do when contacted.
For the possible YouTube channel that will most likely require animations/animatics, I think that can be discussed later on.
In a nutshell, I won't be stepping a foot onto the accounts, but I will be illustrating. Maybe I might take a crack at a new subreddit logo and banner when the time comes.
Checking in on this account after leaving the site, MAN that is a cringy forum post history. Daaamn. Never again.Tentatively considering the merits of contributing my voice to the tiktok.
We do have a good mic and I'm told my voice sounds nice. 2 am tangent
Getting the time and energy to actually do the voicing is a sticking point, though.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Oh, alnair20aug93 and Plakythebirb? I sent you guys member invites for the Tumblr once it was up.
...Still waiting for your replies.
"We are all so afraid, we are all so alone, we all so need from the outside the assurance of our own worthiness to exist."
Sorry! I don't use tumblr much so I must have not noticed it.
Where do you access invitations on Tumblr?
Oh, I'm currently using Tumblr for my watercolor prompts, and not much else. I oughta check that more often.

Edit: I have a memory of a goldfish
Double edit: Perhaps you can discuss with them ideas for the Tumblr page?

Good idea.
Let's see...Tumblr went up on the 14th, presently has seven followers. So far have only been reblogging other people's content, will try to make some original content soon.
Just heard of Misskey being a Twitter alternative that is aimed toward people who disliked the changes towards Twitter. So far, their popularity is rising high so far, any interest towards it?
For context, this
is the website I'm talking about.

Eh, good enough.I'd say that unless Twitter/X goes down completely, its probably best to just have the Twit account instead of any of the alternatives until we've gotten the social media stuff working well.
Welcome To Ideals' WorldGonna ask if we have time and room about the Telegram messaging app. There used to be one according to this thread
, though it wasn't touched upon.

ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔~Tropers/kory Does anything else have to be done or do we just have to wait for every to be set up?
Macron's notesAh sorry about the delay everyone! This company has a major project going on that’s taking priority over tropes stuff so this got pushed back on the priority list. I’ll try to spend some free time next week preparing the login stuff for everyone who volunteered.
Now Monitoring Query Bugs and Query WishlistIf you're accepting more volunteers, I can make some art for the social media stuff like Trope-tan art on the TVT Tumblr.
CG for shortI think I'll stop being an admin on Tumblr. I rarely go to Tumblr than when I used to.
Best I'll give this to someone else who is more willing and able.

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576I let this sit for way too long. Anyone want to make suggestions to the Reddit icon before I go add a bit more details and clean it up?

Checking in on this account after leaving the site, MAN that is a cringy forum post history. Daaamn. Never again.Being the one who's generally running the Tumblr, I'd like to make a few requirements for whoever wants to fill alnair20aug93's spot:
- Regularly active on the site (at least daily)
- Willing to make original content
So...more or less what's mentioned in the tagged comment.
"We are all so afraid, we are all so alone, we all so need from the outside the assurance of our own worthiness to exist."

Honestly the biggest issue there isn't the visuals or scripts, we can easily do those, it's finding someone who has a decent voice (and microphone), and is willing to have it revealed.
We don't necessarily need a face, just a voice that doesn't sound like crap.
