A number of communities use scheduled threads to help get discussion started, and I thought this community could benefit from something like that. It reduces the pressure on individual users to be the first one to post a discussion post, since this community is mostly news/research articles.
It could be to chat about how things are going professionally, to share stories from that week, to discuss a piece of news/research in depth, etc.
If this sounds good to you, how often should the threads be scheduled? Any other considerations?
Feel free to tag anyone that you think might want to weigh in, I’m going to tag @medgremlin@midwest.social, @Dadifer@lemmy.world, @MrShankles@reddthat.com
I think this is a good idea. I’m not sure what time interval to use (ie weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)
Nice :)
Dadifer@lemmy.worldsuggested biweekly, and we can adjust later if we feel it’s too much/little at that point
