It’s a Quandary. And a Nightmare For Moderators.
Trying to avoid Facebook tagging comments as spam. But how?
Creating Interaction, Not Disputes
We want better interaction and more members reading each other’s stories, especially in the Facebook groups
We can read, clap, and follow directly from Facebook, and it’s triggering more and more comments in Medium Facebook groups, where everyone is a Medium member.
We can read using the built-in browser, and then drop our own story link under it, using a copy/paste comment including our story link.
Directly from Facebook, the view/read and claps count to create benefits for the writer when a story is monetised.
The Quandry For Group Moderators
Facebook gets triggered by repetitive comments.
This is what sets Facebook's triggers off. The same copy/paste comment because Facebook can read. Especially if it's being used in another group at the same time.
Single Threads — Is That A Solution?
In some groups, they have a single thread and everyone just drops one link and it's up to everyone to go and read what they like.
You can end up with a thread of 30 - 50 stories. With about 10-15 words of introduction to each story.
Is this a better way?
It means you can
*easily find your favourite writers,
*get to see who is new and posting for the first time,
*see which writers get the most responses by their 👍, ❤, 😲,😪,😡, on their story link
Forcing Better Headlines and More Creative Introductions.
What the single thread will do is make us create better headlines for our stories.
Write new introductions that invite the reader, instead of the usual "clapped 50x now come and do the same for me"
If you clap their story and comment on it on Medium, which is where our stories reside, then a like or a ❤ on Facebook will help slow Facebook down.
Keep Posting Links To Your Medium Stories
We still want you to post your own story at least once a day, so everyone can read it.
PLEASE let me know if you think this is a good idea.
