She's got a work on her sales pitch. "Probably one of the greatest... Oh it's not for you, it's more of a Shelbyville idea..."

Thank you! Like I said I'm still figuring things out. The instance I joined says you can't post images until 40 days after joining. Is there an alternative way to do that?

Oh it was in the ysk community on .world

I guess it would be community specific. Just looking around for places to share stuff, but it seems like it fits in many ways with the topic of the community but also includes aspects that might be in violation of the rules.

I will try just asking individual communities

I guess on a broad topic level the closest would be public health, but it's been so misrepresented it's also become an issue of politics and privatization of public information

I am still learning how to navigate everything but I guess mainly community based? I really would like to share literally anywhere I could that would be interested in learning about the information.

Basically I guess it would be most closely a topic of public health policy being greatly misrepresented.

 

Ok, so I am a U.S. researcher who has ended up here bc of censorship issues on other platforms.

I understand why rules for no self promotion exist in general, but typically I would consider that to be things like promoting a business or anything with a paywall or with the goal to get more attention for self vs the goal to spread information that is being suppressed.

I started writing a blog on ghost and putting some information together to raise awareness about science and other policy disinformation. Would sharing the information or graphics from the blog still be self promotion since it's my own blog

If it is self promotion, are there any good communities where this kind of things is ok to share?

I'm watching healthcare implode around me thanks to state level DOGE partnering with state auditors to make a proposed budget cut happen.

Monopoly chains of hospitals with CEOs that receive state funding are being investigated for misspending Medicare. Same hospital has cracked down on nurses attempts to unionize. Are the hospital CEOs losing any money?

Nope, but the few decent doctors left in the state are being treated like criminals for trying to give too many poor people access to state funded healthcare so definitely seems like an efficient way to cut all that pesky red tape

 

Does anyone know of any communities that might be helpful for creating a shared place to track the "small government" DOGE taskforces that are popping up all over the country?

I've been piecing together what I can and my state has really gone off the rails with this. I'd really like to find a place to collaborate with others and collect evidence of how these supposedly small government actions are using the same playbook as the D.C. DOGE to aid some of the most powerful individuals and biggest corporations in the U.S.

Is there a community for asking a question about the existence of other communities related to a specific topic?

I want to find out if anyone knows about any communities regarding a political topic, but the ask community rules state no politics.
