Good morning, all!
To start: if you think I have posted in the wrong forum, please let me know. I'm new here and trying to navigate the different forums is a little bit tricky. I'm happy to move my post if I need to!
I'm going to be upfront with my intentions here. I am doing research for a college English class on online communities and their literacies. I am not talking about literacy in the most commonly used sense of the term, but rather the aspects of your community that help you interact with and find other other people with similar beliefs.
For example: do you all have a certain event that everyone in the community should know about? Any texts that you all refer to? How do you identify each other in public? Is there any slang a new member of the community should know?
I know you get a lot of requests from students looking for information, so I am trying to make this as clear as possible: I am not here to debate or research the Flat Earth Theory itself, just how the members of your online community interact with each other.
If you would like to help or even if this just interests you, please feel free to comment or even DM me! I have also attached my Code of Ethics and a Consent Form if you would like to look at them.
Thank you!
