Our social media channels
At the Landworkers’ Alliance we have several social media channels, including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. We post regularly across all of the channels, and encourage followers to comment and discuss our content. We are aware that some of our content touches on issues that some people may find sensitive, and so it is important to us that these pages are managed as safe spaces where discussion is managed respectfully.
Hours of management
Our comms staff all work part-time, but our channels are generally managed 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday. Because of the part-time nature of the work and the limited capacity of the team, there may be times where comments aren’t moderated straight away. We will avoid scheduling content that may provoke controversy or heated discussion during weekends and evenings when these channels are not monitored.
Moderating comments
We encourage constructive and respectful discussion on our social media channels, and understand that people will have different views and perspectives, but if we feel like comments contain inappropriate language, are personally attacking or bullying, are insulting, threatening or aggressive, or are discriminatory/encouraging discrimination, we will moderate them. This may include hiding comments, deleting comments or blocking individuals/organisations from our social media channels. We will also moderate comments where people spam or repeatedly post off-topic content.
If you come across comments or content that you feel warrants moderation, please get in touch via a direct message or via email on communications@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk . We encourage you not to engage directly with problematic comments.
