Sharing a petition when moderating #428

Closed rrustema closed 4 years ago

rrustema commented 7 years ago

A moderator wastes a few minutes sharing a new petition on social networks. Up to 10 minutes every day, adds up to 60 hours per year. Worthwhile to automate.

The tweet announcing a new petition is in a standardised format. Only the added hashtag refering to the locality is an editorial decision. Local politicians, journalists and such who monitor twitter for hashtags of their municipality will pick up the petition like this.

The tweet is already automatically fed to Facebook.

The links to tweet and Facebook message are manually added to the new petition as website links, so users can easily like, retweet or discuss.

A link to Wikipedia background information remains editorial work.

Ideally the tweet and Facebook message should appear as embedded news updates under the petition, visually more familiar and engaging, but it should be locally cached/saves as news item in the database rather than fetched from third party servers.
