▓ Michigan Goes Blue 2020 🔶 ■ Diary List ■ Members ■ Profile/mission statement:
Group founded by peregrine kate — Conditions for Democrats in Michigan have dramatically changed for the better since 2016. But we still must contribute to a massive blue wave on November 3rd, 2020. We need not only to vote Joe Biden and Kamala Harris into office, we also need to elect two excellent candidates for MI Supreme Court and flip four seats in the MI House to gain the majority. Posts in this group will provide registration and voting information for Michigan residents; GOTV resources for activists whether inside MI or out; links to election protection groups which are currently recruiting both in and out of state support. If you'd like to join, please send a Kosmail to me, peregrine kate. — founded Sep 17, 2020

If you’d like to “follow” a group so the diaries they originate get delivered automatically to your Activity Stream … ►
...click on the group’s Diary List link and then click on the
💖 Follow
you’ll see fairly near the center top of the diary list page.
Or click on the group’s Members link and look in the left margin at that page, a little way down, for the pale grey-on-grey Follow button (about 20% the size of the below illo) and click there.
Diaries by all DK writers you follow, and diaries originating at all DK groups you follow, and diaries tagged with all tags you follow, are reachable at your Activity Stream.
If you’re interesting in joining a particular group, in order to be able to post diaries under their banner or reblog diaries (your own and other relevant ones) at that group:
■ click on the Members link and look in the left margin for the Admins of the group,
■ click on the admin listed first or 2nd … usually — admins seem to be listed now by order of who has posted a diary most recently, since that’s who’s most likely to be currently active on-site, replying to comments at the diary or commenting elsewhere, and therefore soonest to see a new-message alert at his/her new-message-alert icon — from you!
Clicking on that admin’s name gets you to that person’s profile page, which will looking kind of like this:
where you can use that Send message link fairly near the center top of that page, to get her/his kosmail fill-in form, which will look pretty much like this:
NOTE: if you use the Send message link at the top of a group’s diary list page to try to contact the whole group instead of an individual admin, that will NOT put a new-message alert at anyone’s message/envelope icon nor at the MESSAGES line in anyone’s WELCOME BACK box. This has been the situation since around 2011, hence best practice still is to kosmail to individual admins. If you don’t receive a reply to your kosmail within 2 or 3 days, make certain how recently s/he was/is on site by looking for the Comments link at his/her profile page to see that date. Sometimes you’ll find that you need to contact some other admin instead.
Friendly Open Thread
Groups & Series
DK’s friendly, regularly scheduled open-thread groups are good places to see how groups do things by participating in their comment threads. Most of these groups are tagged “community” — that tag means they are for friendly interaction, information-sharing, and so on, not for argument/debate the way most topical diaries and groups are. Community groups are welcoming to newcomers, and usually have several longtimers around who can answer questions about DK how-to. See the yellow Key to Symbols box, above for more community groups along heritage and health-issue lines, etc.

If your open-thread friendly group or series isn’t listed, please kosmail to diarist to be added. New members join DK all the time, and most could really use a home-base instead of running around loose eating junkfood, swearing, and hanging out at street corners waiting for the trolley to the race track. ;-) |
