I love what EcoModder has become too.
And we (admins) are not at all opposed to social media... in fact we talk about it a couple of times a year!
(Although, ironically, none of the 3 admins uses FB/Twitter... and it's not even a generational thing -- me being the old guy here. The other guys are the real oddballs for not doing what 99.5% of their peers are apparently doing, faces glued to mobile devices.)
Here's the thing: our occasional social media discussions always come down to the same conclusion, which is that we're content with EM's status (in terms of growth/membership levels). The active members are generally fantastic. Overall activity is steady -- and it's more influenced by fuel prices than by anything else. HUGE correlation there. Not surprisingly.
Also -- and I'm speaking only for myself here -- I'm not much into evangelizing. My approach is
not to try leading the horse to water. I'd rather just
be the water. The genuinely interested/motivated horses know how to use Google, so they will find us, and they will drink. Those are the horses we want most to have around here.
ALL THAT SAID...
The biggest reason we don't pursue FB/Twitter/Youtube is it's extra work for us, and we each already have TMFP (Too Many ... Projects).
But we would absolutely welcome anyone who wants to help spread the word on other platforms ... a team of social media embassadors/contributors would be interesting.
EG: someone to post the occasional success story / selected threads on EM's Twitter feed? Fantastic! A FB page "editor" would also be great (we actually didn't start that one. An EM member did independently.) Someone to "curate" the EcoModder YouTube channel/playlists? I would actually love that one.
