Social Media

From Pumping Station One

PS1 has some presence on some social media and business listing sites. Postiz has been set up to allow granted members to some of those social media accounts without sharing account usernames/passes.

Social Accounts and Business Listings

Here's a list of our known social media accounts, including ones that we might have lost access to because of bit rot and volunteers be volunteering. Hopefully this list continues to be kept updated.

Postiz

What is it?

Postiz is an open source social media post scheduling tool that allows multiple people to have posting permissions on multiple social media platforms without the need of sharing single logins to multiple people. It's dangerous to hand out direct logins to each social media account as members come and go over the years, but we want people to show off their makes and hacks, and also distribute the burden of responsibility for posting cool stuff to multiple people.

Where to find Postiz: https://postiz.pumpingstationone.org

At the time of writing, PS1 hosts its own instance of Postiz in the ps1-pr VM.

Need help? Say hello in #public-relations on Discord.

Register

Request Invite

Any member who's interested can ask for access to Postiz. Requests can be made in #public-relations, to the PR officer, board, or CTO. Rules: Be reasonable with what you post, don't double post, don't spam, don't post anything that gets us banned, follow our code of conduct and rules in the membership agreement. If you post something you shouldn't or needs to get deleted, please ask people in #public-relations to help get it deleted, as that cannot happen through Postiz.

Register with Postiz

You must use the invite URL from the invite email! Using the same email address fill out the form.

  • Email: [Email you used for the invite]
  • Password: [You password]
  • Company: Pumping Station: One

Verify PS1 Membership

After entering registration info, a popup will require you to VERIFY YOU'RE A PS1 MEMBER. Use the pretty well known wireless network PS1 password for both username and password!

  • Member verification username: [Generic wireless network PS1 password]
  • Member verification password: [Generic wireless network PS1 password]

Password hints:

  • All lower case
  • Does PS1 fucking rock? Yes it does!
  • You can find this password written on the ceiling or on posters in the lounge
  • Ask on Discord
  • Look at the screenshot 👆🏽
  • Both username and password are the same

Why is it like this? Postiz self-hosted doesn't provide a way to prevent random people from creating new accounts that may cause some damage even though they shouldn't have access to any of the PS1 socials. We've set up a basic HTTP auth in front of registration to only permit members.

Content getting posted

Social media brings new people through the door, who are potential new members. So we need content to do so. It's a full-time job for someone to go and hunt down other members who are doing cool stuff in the space, and building those photos and videos as content to post on social media. We need this to be easier.

As per the rights of publicity section in our membership agreement, PS1 can publish photos and videos from inside the space to the socials. So the goal right now is to ease into normality that stuff shared via #official-announcements, #member-announcements,#whathaveyoubeenhackingon, and any of the event calendars, are generally accepted as being ok to post externally through socials (and the membership newsletter) unless otherwise noted by whoever shared them in Discord.
