If you guys give me a list of 3-4 media people to contact I can write a statement and then send it off
Just find some articles about reddit and then send me the about page for the person who wrote it
JackieSus10-Aug-21 01:03 PM
I know a guy who would probably write an article (not personally I just know of him) but he’s a writer from ifl science and they don’t exactly write the best content.
It’s not very reputable but it’s still an article.

TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 06:02 AM
Ok, media
We need to do this
rnz25-Aug-21 06:19 AM

TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 06:37 AM
I don’t really know any. I only remember bored panda
rnz25-Aug-21 06:40 AM

Lauren_ev25-Aug-21 07:59 AM
Maybe explain about how it’s moderators of various subreddits organizing it
N8theGr825-Aug-21 08:45 AM
vice might be interested.
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 08:45 AM
I’ll @ them on Twitter
dubteedub25-Aug-21 09:50 AM
reach out to Daily Dot, Daily Beast
any outlet that covered the r/NoNewNormal quarantine
dubteedub25-Aug-21 11:16 AM
Seb, can you list which journos you reached out to or plan to?

TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 11:16 AM
I’ve directly reached out to Vice and BoredPanda
dubteedub25-Aug-21 11:17 AM
Which reporters
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 11:17 AM
We heard back from 1 but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to send it publicly
Honestly I just @ed their Twitter
dubteedub25-Aug-21 11:17 AM
:pls:
Bro
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 11:17 AM
Dms
Wait
@dubteedub I’ll hold off for a bit. It may be an abundance of caution but we do have multiple rats here

dubteedub25-Aug-21 11:19 AM
Ah yeah thats fair
__dawn__amber__25-Aug-21 11:23 AM
Who added the reddit trolls here in the first place
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 11:23 AM
We don't even know who they are
__dawn__amber__25-Aug-21 11:24 AM
Elne is pretty well known troll
I'm not blaming them
But most of the trolls are never on one side
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 11:25 AM
I do have a reason to believe it's not them but I'm still not entirely sure(edited)
__dawn__amber__25-Aug-21 11:26 AM
There's another one too here
Carlamoni or some shit
Average rebbitor
dubteedub25-Aug-21 11:37 AM
you have several current/former r/drama mods and r/averageredditor folks here for some reason
dubteedub

TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 11:38 AM
A lot of them were auto invited
conalfisher25-Aug-21 11:38 AM
Is this a private channel or something? Or are we just pointing fingers lol
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 11:39 AM
Pointing fingers
rnz25-Aug-21 01:01 PM
we keep wasting time with these "among us" games. move on pls
we are hindering our own efforts. if people are not impeding actual work and organizing - then this is as good as it gets.

We’re talking to one person now
Tech Support25-Aug-21 04:12 PM
Media contact
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 04:12 PM
who?
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 04:12 PM
We should form a media team though. Small, maybe 3-4
Daily dot
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 04:12 PM
hm okay
well i volunteer as tribute
Lauren_ev25-Aug-21 04:12 PM
I volunteer
NateArcher25-Aug-21 04:13 PM
I volunteer I don’t want to just sit here doing nothing(edited)
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 04:13 PM
could it be worth inviting reporters into this discord?
giving them limited access to some channels?
like general and updates
dooodaaad
giving them limited access to some channels?
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 04:13 PM
Already sorted
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 04:13 PM
oh?
so we can prove we're the real ppl
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 04:14 PM
It’s not super hard to do that
We all have our accounts linked to our Reddit(edited)
Lauren_ev25-Aug-21 04:17 PM
Yeah
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 04:18 PM
Hi Azmi,
I'm one of the Reddit mods who was working on the anti-misinformation protest. I saw your article and figured I would reach out to you to see if you have any questions or wanted more information.
I am going to share any emails I receive or write about this with the rest of the team to make sure any statement we release reflects the group sentiment.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Dash

good?
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 04:29 PM
hmmm should I add some general info on this?
like how many people, how long, etc
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 05:20 PM
I’ve got NPR
3
Whose contact info am I supposed to be sending
SecretAgentIceBat
I’ve got NPR
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:21 PM
Oh shit
Can they join the Discord?
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 05:21 PM
No, it’s a podcast
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:21 PM
I know
Did you get a person?
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 05:21 PM
I don’t think so anyway, she only wants to talk to a few people.
Yeah, she’s the same person who did the /r/C podcast
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:22 PM
Yeah, send them the Discord
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 05:22 PM
I don’t think she would want to join a Discord full of people
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:22 PM
make a special role with a bright red color that doesnt give them access to this channel
for any media in future
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:22 PM
They’re in a different chat
We have that handled
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:22 PM
oh huh
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:22 PM
And it’s orange
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:22 PM
good enough lol
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 05:23 PM
Okay, well, I don’t know how else to say that she just wants contact info for a few people
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:23 PM
i can talk to her but seb might have a different person in mind
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:23 PM
I think someone else might be better, no offense
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:23 PM
yeah no worries lol
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:24 PM
If she doesn’t want to join Discord would Reddit or Twitter work?
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:24 PM
or email?
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:24 PM
She would be in a different chat on the Discord
Email could work
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:24 PM
i think email is best tbh
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 05:24 PM
I can try
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:24 PM
gives us time to write statements
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 05:24 PM
The whole podcast is an interview
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:24 PM
and we cant get misquoted
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:24 PM
Oh
I see
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:25 PM
ohhhhh fuck
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 05:25 PM
Yeah I guess I should have clarified that
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:25 PM
Yeah that’s a different thing. Discord would work so much better then
Or slack
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:25 PM
who would she talk to
ew slack
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:25 PM
Something with noice
Voice
I’m so good at English
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 05:25 PM
Yeah, you would just need to make a group DM for it rather than her joining the server
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:25 PM
Can do
What’s her name?
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:27 PM
we should prepare talking points
Lauren_ev25-Aug-21 05:28 PM
I’ll help any way I can
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:28 PM
specific things we want to touch on, statements we want to say, etc
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 05:28 PM
Yeah, get a little group together
There are like 100+ people in this server
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:29 PM
I’ll discuss with the server mods
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:29 PM
i can do a mock interview with someone
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 05:29 PM
I think 4 will be a good size
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:46 PM
gonna reach out to the forbes lady rn
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 05:59 PM
found her email
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 06:04 PM
@dooodaaad Can you ask her if she wants to speak to us?
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 06:04 PM
yeah i sent the same email as i did to the other guy
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 06:05 PM
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 06:32 PM
@SecretAgentIceBat Know when they will be able to record?(edited)
mayaxs25-Aug-21 06:37 PM
Off the clock now, I can help if needed
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 06:47 PM
Within the next few days

Academic accomplishment is temporary, being a really cool internet janitor is forever
That's what I tell myself every night at least

kewlbro25-Aug-21 07:04 PM
on the right track i see!
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 07:11 PM
Questions we should have answers for before an interview:
1. What made you decide to start a covid protest?
2. How rapidly did the movement grow
3. How would you best describe the message you're trying to put out
4. What else have you tried?
5. How many people are involved with this?
6. How geographically spread out is everyone?(edited)

Agree- someone who got a 5 on AP lit when I took it
Memorize Frankenstein and pull “epistolary form” out of your ass and you will be fine

Lauren_ev25-Aug-21 07:12 PM
I can write super formally if I try
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 07:13 PM
whoever's doing the NPR podcast shouldnt sound super formal
cause it sounds bad if you're just reading from a script
Lauren_ev25-Aug-21 07:13 PM
Hold up we’re doing the npr podcast
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 07:13 PM
apparently
someone is
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 07:33 PM
Okay do y’all have a group of people together?
Just like 2-3 people. That is all.
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 07:34 PM
@TheSebtacular
SecretAgentIceBat25-Aug-21 07:34 PM
I assumed @TheSebtacular , @Merari01 , a third? There doesn’t have to be one
@N8theGr8 ?
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 07:49 PM
I think me and N8 make the most sense
The third would be Mer or Houst
hwhouston51725-Aug-21 07:50 PM
I can answer
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 07:50 PM
Talk it over with Mer, unless they can have a third
Or did you mean like answer as in decide now?
hwhouston51725-Aug-21 07:51 PM
I think Mer might be asleep.
Oh wait this is a voice call?
TheSebtacular25-Aug-21 07:52 PM
Yes
hwhouston51725-Aug-21 07:52 PM
Nvm fuck this
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 07:52 PM
lmao
when you decide whos gonna do it ping me and we can do a mock interview
for practice
should i email the journos i contacted and tell them its gonna happen at 9pm est?
i havent gotten a response
Merari0125-Aug-21 08:00 PM
Me
dooodaaad
should i email the journos i contacted and tell them its gonna happen at 9pm est?
Lauren_ev25-Aug-21 08:01 PM
No
dooodaaad25-Aug-21 08:01 PM
it would build trust
Merari0125-Aug-21 08:01 PM
But it will have to wait until tomorrow
hwhouston51725-Aug-21 08:01 PM
Not me pls
dooodaaad
it would build trust
dubteedub25-Aug-21 08:06 PM
not if we dont go through with it
most subs that signed the letter are not in here
it takes a lot of time to organize this and someone will need to message every single subreddit that signed on to coordinate
