Does anybody else feel like this? I feel SO hampered by this. I see stories from all over the country and all over the globe everyday but I have NO idea what's happening in my own state. How can I help when I don't even know what's going on?
There is a simple solution to this. I already suggested it to the mods over on Patriots.win and I just barely submitted the same to the mods here but I think it's so important I'm posting about it as well.
We should require all posters to categorize their posts as either "World", "Nation", or "State" (with a drop-down of all 50 states). That way, when we come to the main board, we can sort accordingly.
I want to make a difference but I live in Utah. I'm not going to fly out to North Carolina to protest a grocery store or a high school teaching CRT. I would gladly drive all over my state for things like that though. I just don't know where they're happening.
I would also love to be able to organize protests of that sort, but how do I ensure that fellow Patriots in Utah even hear my voice when its getting drowned out by all the national narratives?
I really, really, really think we need this feature. On all the .win sites. Hopefully the mods here can jump on that and be the first to lead the pack.
Our country needs us. But it all starts at the local level. So let's enable that.
That's why they took over local papers and stations to condition us to think global not local
Exactly. That's the real battlefield. That's where we can make a difference. That's where we can really cut through the bullshit and get to the truth. We can enable that here.
Yup
👍
The overarching .win platform could make a few, limited changes that would increase the value of these sites to the users immensely, mainly around tagging, filtering, searching, discoverability. I’d love it if posts that contained continually useful reference material could be curated to provide a location for helpful resources.
I think the individual site mods are constrained by the capabilities of the platform.
I’ve never used Reddit, however I understand this inherited much from that site. The basic functionality is appealingly easy to use, but I do hope they are continuing to develop this.
If you are on social media like Instagram or Twitter you can follow hashtags. I’m getting a lot of good info on Instagram. If I see someone post something & no source, I ask them to DM me the link. Just last night someone posted the video of Docs in NC & hospital Covid numbers. I asked for the info & I was able to post it here. 👏 I do agree with more filters as search doesn’t work for me.
Yeah that's what we all do. But the anonymity here provides a layer of protection that frankly, we need at this time. And we don't have to rely solely on ourselves to farm the info. The crowdsourcing is what makes this place so great. It should be an easy fix.
Yep, local news is so godawful, it's hard to keep up with what's going on and what I can actually affect.
Read deeper into your local papers, city, and area organization sites that provide event news. Check out the Utah Mormon Church sites as they’re always on top of the local news going on, being a more conservative religious group. Then you can get a better handle on what’s happening. Find your local Patriot or Freedom Coalition group too. They can provide lots of going-on type info.
I'm not saying that's not a good idea. I'm saying it would be better if we could crowdsource those efforts here, where we can talk to each other, and mobilize.
Australia is on the news? Don’t worry it works both ways. I’ve been hearing about this “freedom day” planned for next month in NSW, not my current state but lots of connections down there. Only just recently found out this famed “freedom day” is not a planned protest, but just the day they have all been told they are allowed back outside IF they get 70% vaccination.
Hey frien you anywhere near Utah County? I got invited last week to join a patriot group who does events and call to actions. I met them at a 9/11 event
Just moved to Orem from CA last week I'd love the info too
Feel free to shoot me an email on my burner, I linked it in my reply above. To your kind do I say hang loose broski?
Lehi! Send me the group info I'd love to check it out.
Let me ask about how I can do that without doxxing the group I got you fren Im over in AF wish I could meet you!!

Heres my burner email, shoot me a message 👍🏻
I love your idea and fully support you. I always appreciate when someone posts naming their state or city.
Yup
I think we need some sort of .win as a local board. Just something for the future - a .win for every region, every state, every county, even down to the town and city. I can see it happening. Sure would beat that trash app Nextdoor which is communist.
