Today, I will introduce what I would consider the most important themed day of the FreeCompliments Community. As the FreeCompliments Community account grows to have a more valuable vote, themed posts may get a slightly higher vote percentage in order to encourage posting, yet would still be based on quality.
While the topics are themed on certain days, this does not mean that these themes are not permitted on other days. It’s just an incentive to encourage posting! All topics are allowed on all days.
In maintaining consistency with prior ideas, any posts which add the the FreeCompliments Community account as a beneficiary would receive an Ecency Boost of at least 150 points ($1 worth of votes). This percentage is currently 10%, and will be reduced over time.
Talk-It-Out Thursdays
One of the key features on this community is the provision of mental and emotional support to those who request or need it. This themed day will serve as an invitation and reminder for people to post their thoughts, concerns, and worries in the community, with the expectation that our members will respond to them in an empathetic and understanding manner, and converse with them about whatever they feel at that moment in time.
The anonymity of the internet provides a channel for people to express themselves in ways that may not normally be possible or comfortable when one’s identity is known. This themed day will provide the opportunity to do so. Naturally, we encourage this on days other than Thursday as well.
In the interest of freedom of speech, for the purpose of this type of post, we will only upvote replies that attempt to be helpful. Those which are genuinely mean-spirited, antagonistic, or unwelcoming will not be upvoted. They will not be muted, and instead, we plan to address the people leaving such comments in an empathetic manner - after all, those leaving such comments may well be the people who need our help the most.
So that people are aware of the theme, just make sure to title the post with “Talk-It-Out Thursdays” in the title. When other people view the post, this can help them see exactly what this community is all about!
Remember to not spam or you’ll lose the FreeCompliments community account’s votes completely. Spamming would consist of posting the same exact content over and over, or posting a very large amount of nearly-identical content over and over. Reposting the same request would count as spam; reposting the same minimalistic replies time and time again (i.e. “nice”) would also count as spam.
Conclusion
Keeping in line with the FreeCompliments’ commitment to improving mental health, Talk-It-Out Thursdays are another themed day intended to provide a space for people to share their worries, concerns, and thoughts, and for us to provide the support that they need.
Here are our current themed days:
Motivational Mondays
Taco Tuesdays
Talent Tuesdays
Talk-It-Out Thursdays (this post!)
Fun Fridays
Selfie Saturdays
Additional Community Rewards – Celebrating 100+ Members!
Yesterday afternoon, July 25th 2023, we broke the 100 member barrier! I did not expect such rapid growth; it was on June 14th that we reached the 50 member mark. It’s incredible, and I’m truly thrilled with how quickly we’re starting to expand.
Thus, to celebrate, on the 1st of August, I’ll be sending out 2 HSBI for every member who joins by that date, rather than the usual 1 HSBI! Let’s get as many people to join as we can (and remember that successful referrals to the community get HSBI rewards as well).
What do you think? Are there any other themed days you would suggest, particularly for Wednesday and Sunday?
I would love to hear any and all opinions about these topics from everyone who is currently a member of FreeCompliments, since you’re all inaugural members! Anyone else who finds this page is also very welcome to voice their opinion. We’re all about free speech, and everyone’s experience has value.
(If you were tagged, it’s because you’re an inaugural member – please let me know if you don’t want to be tagged and I’ll stop, pronto!)
More posts with further ideas incoming soon!
Disclaimer: FreeCompliments will be a beneficiary for this post, and I will attempt to boost it via Ecency points as well.
