75. Question for the few who may see this comment...

As more and more people are struggling in various ways simply to survive, it's harder and harder to gather enough people to help. I'm brainstorming some non-legislative Robin Hood-esque (but legal, non-violent) ways of shifting resources and alleviating suffering -- a "Six Degrees of Compassion" idea -- but at present am left trying to gather "regular" people to help one another.

We can help in many ways that aren't financial, but when money is what is needed, it's increasingly difficult to meet the needs. That's obvious, of course.

But here's my question: I'm contemplating creating an OP in GD (and other groups here) but don't want to seem disrespectful to DU in any way. Just as DU is a huge community -- and people here come together as best they can via these Wishadoo posts -- surely DUers belong to other online communities as well, be they hobby-related, religious, health, parenting, etc.

I need to make headway with other online communities to show them how Wishadoo can be of service to their members; helping their community members via Wishadoo takes away liability for their site and cuts down approval time for such posts, which is why it works well here at DU for all involved.

But we need more to gather. Gathering existing communities is one way to do that.

I am a paycheck-to-paycheck person myself and am doing my best behind the scenes and working on various projects to spread the word, but if the DU community members could share Wishadoo with their OTHER networks and communities -- online and "real" world -- that would help tremendously since they see how it already works here at DU.

Thoughts on creating an OP to that effect, or any other suggestions as to how to reach other existing communities? I was a longstanding member here at DU, part of the community, before creating Wishadoo. I don't really belong to other online communities, not enough to be trusted or listened to. I need ambassadors.
