Sharing community content on social media

Anil A - Mod

Hi all,

I'm starting this thread to try and test the waters regarding sharing community content externally. 

Before I joined, it was semi-regular practice to tweet out (or Facebook update) a link to interesting discussions going on in the community. Everything on the community is public & viewable without requiring an account, so it's a useful way to encourage our followers to join the conversations here. It's also a good way to get the helpful information onto our different networks.

Do any of you have any concerns around this?

  • I have concerns, which might sound strange.  It's like, I knew it was public but in my mind it was like a safe little community where only people who had some relevant cause to be here would be.  That may be an incorrect assumption, but how my mind saw it.  Knowing it's going to the wider public, in a deliberate way, immediately (despite using an online pseudonymn) made me worry if I have said anything on here that I wouldn't want going elsewhere (and I can't think what on earth I would have said to which that applies either).  It's probably me being silly as it is illogical, but it's my gut reaction.  I know Googling key phrases could bring anyone in the world to the forum anyway.

    On the positive side, I can see where useful information that has been discussed could be brought to a wider audience without the need for them to physically search using terms that might match, and autism awareness is a good thing.

    Just my initial thoughts, not necessarily meant to influence what path the decision takes.  I think also, my Aspieness means changing something I'm used to the way it is, instigates a knee-jerk reaction.
