Listen and answer the part you know. Don't collect private hardship stories in a public thread.
A proposal for their next communications meeting
One meeting. Seven decisions.
Suggested 50-minute kickoff. End with an accountable pilot—not just a calendar of posts.
- 00–05 MINWhat's social media actually for?
Pick one outcome: real questions, opt-in participants, clear answers, or approved next steps—not just impressions.
- 05–12 MINWho are we inviting to speak?
Neighbors, potential owners, producers, and people who have concerns. Decide language, accessibility and where off-platform participation goes.
- 12–19 MINWho owns the voice?
Verify actual pages, admin access, factual reviewer, final publisher and backup. Don't assume the person designing posts can speak for the co-op.
- 19–28 MINWhat can we safely say?
Approve plain-language facts, photograph/quote permissions, unknown answers, and a review rule for dates, finance, membership and partnerships.
- 28–38 MINWhat does each reply become?
Define listening, triage, permission to route a question, ownership, and one bounded First Yes artifact. No automatic volunteer enrollment.
- 38–45 MINHow do we handle disagreement?
Welcome fair criticism, correct errors, avoid personal details in comments; publish narrowly tailored moderation rules for threats, harassment, doxxing and spam.
- 45–50 MINWho approves the first two posts?
Assign a publisher, reviewer, response owner, first post, due date and one-week check-in. Record what is still unresolved.
Open forum policy · suggested, not adopted
Welcome disagreement. Protect the people.
Keep the discussion open to supporters, skeptics and questions. Separate criticism of the proposal from harassment of people. A private platform or privately run Page is not the government, so don't confuse a First Amendment principle with automatic permission to post on somebody else's account.
Proposed rules: clearly explain who speaks for the co-op; no personal attacks, threats, spam, or posting anyone's contact details; do not invite private hardship narratives into public comments; correct inaccurate claims; no partner names, photos, member counts, fundraising or launch commitments without review. Apply rules consistently across viewpoints. Offer a way to challenge an incorrect removal.
Six weeks / listen → learn → ask → return
A calendar that earns its next post.
Two proposed posts per week, each requiring an explicit publishing decision. The last week includes templates held until actual verified project facts exist.
This plan assumes a proposed start Monday, October 26. It does not imply the cooperative adopted this cadence or authorized posting.
Before the six-week campaign / Stage Two Launch Desk
A rocket needs a next-stage crew.
When everybody refers you to somebody else, the useful question is no longer “who's in charge of everything?” It's who may make this one decision, and who volunteers to carry the next seven days? We can prepare the work now; the co-op itself keeps its own governance.
Proposal, not appointment: This desk cannot authorize the co-op, designate officers, promise access to its social accounts, publish on its behalf or infer that a person has volunteered. Names entered below stay on your device and are described as possible contacts until independently confirmed.
ONE decision

What was accepted, declined or left unresolved?
Nothing is sent, scheduled, stored, or approved by this page.
Break the referral loop
A person giving you another person's name is a useful lead, not proof that the next person can approve. After two referrals, stop expanding the loop. Invite the relevant people into one clear decision, only through an appropriate existing relationship or with permission.
Offer“I've prepared the first two draft social posts, a six-week listening calendar, and a way to handle responses. May I share a one-week pilot for review?”
Decision“Who has authority to approve the exact two posts, who has access to publish them, and who should receive public questions?”
Boundary“If nobody is ready to authorize the pilot, I'll keep it an independent draft. No official claims, no account access, no public commitments.”
Return“Can we check back in seven days and say what was approved, declined, completed, or remains unknown?”
Printable decision card
Twelve draft posts / zero scheduled posts
Ready-to-edit conversation starters.
The first ten are independent discussion drafts; the last two are evidence-gated templates. Every caption needs the actual publisher's editorial review. When publishing independently, always disclose the affiliation clearly.
The real innovation / a comment can become a useful act
A response desk, not a comment trap.
Translate a *general, public-safe theme* into a respectful reply and a suggested human-reviewed next question. This tool does not scrape comments or store anything. Don't paste names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, personal difficulties, or private messages.
The reply is a draft for an independent community listener, not a response issued by an official cooperative representative. Actual comments deserve attentive human reading, not automatic sorting or automated promises.
Prepare a shareable, anonymized draft; ask whether the person wants it passed to an actual authorized steward.
If accepted, prepare one useful artifact and report what happened. If declined, record that without pushing again.
Proposed scorecard / not collected or verified
Measure the conversation, not the applause.
Record aggregate counts each week if the account owner authorizes it. Avoid publishing identities, screenshots of private conversations, demographic inferences, or personal profiles.

What the team must decide
No targets or numbers have been set by the cooperative in this toolkit. Establish a real baseline and an owner-approved outcome before adding them.
