The accounts are currently loosely managed by Mo and Christoph. We’d love to have more contributors. If you’d like to help out, reach out in #spread-the-word.
Shout-out to our previous posters Alexa and Doc Sharp.
These are our current writing guidelines for social media.
- FOR things, promote solutions, use positive language
- Not AGAINST things, don’t use negative language
- Inform & educate
- High signal-to-noise ratio
- Friendly & approachable
- Succinct
- Use threads with each post capturing one idea/point
- Guide highlights: When new content is added to the guide, create a new thread on the additions (or re-post the authors threads - probably better)
- Designer spotlight: Highlight a designer in the community and share a short story about them / why they like bitcoin / what they work on etc.
- Announce calls and call recordings (learning bitcoin & design, design review, community call…)
- Quick user research and polls for community projects
- Respond to current design-related conversations (e.g. post a link to the Units & Symbols page if there’s a thread somewhere around unit formatting)
- Add context to posts when re-posting them, to add value
- OK to highlight when products, services, and brands adopt strategies from the Guide, or do things that’s good for open source bitcoin or open design processes
- Criticize projects or people (if you must, use your personal accounts)
- Promote a specific product over others (if you must, use your personal accounts)
- ABC Wallet just launched a new version with an improved UI. It's a perfect example of techniques from the Onboarding section of the Guide!
- Just wrapped up another awesome design sprint with XYZ Wallet. Thanks for being so open to collaboration with the Bitcoin Design Community!
- Several members of the Design Community participated in this podcast about DEF Wallet to talk about Lightning backups. What do you think about this topic?
- MNO Exchange just launched an initiative to provide grant funding to people working on open source bitcoin projects. Calling all designers!
- GHI Wallet has a pretty bad UI. Shame they haven't read the Guide.
- Gee, JKL Wallet, would it kill you to join a Design Review call?
- PQR Wallet is the best. You should all download it now!
- STU Wallet has a promotion going on where you can get free sats for downloading their app.
