Hello staff, authors, readers, and members of the community alike.
Starting on January 6th, 2025, the Internet Outreach (henceforth IO) team will be folding into the Community Outreach (henceforth CO) team. What does this mean for IO? A few things, namely:
- IO will become a CO subteam.
- IO staff will still report to
Yossipossi, who has been named the Section Head of IO for the CO team for the immediate future. CO will search for a suitable replacement per Yossi's request.
- The IO Discord will continue to function as it always has, and members of it are also welcomed to join the CO Discord for easier communication with the on-site staff.
The reasoning behind this absorption is twofold. First, IO's separation from CO served to frustrate communication between the teams, preventing important announcements from being made in a timely manner. Second, as for why the merge is only happening now, the team's membership has steadily declined and has reached a breaking point in sustainability, which would be alleviated by its folding into CO. The team's mission statements and operations are intertwined anyway, so having them be under the same leadership only makes sense.
With CO's bigger manpower, we will be filling in some positions left behind from the time when IO was a bigger team, and we will additionally be recruiting new members of staff for the following platforms:
- Twitter/Bluesky
- Instagram/Facebook
- TikTok
Expect a recruitment thread in the very near future.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Uncle Nicolini or
Yossipossi.
