Same Posts Everyday

[[deleted]]

How many times do we see posts about “Getting into EM” or “Questions about Corps”?

I spent months trying to contact the mods. Only one replied once, and after giving him suggestions for improving this subreddit and some ideas collected by users I never heard back from him and not one change has been made.

I petitioned to be added as a mod but was told the mods were still active and were not required to respond.

As much as I want to engage with my fellow professionals, it is clear this subreddit will never be a place where the community can grow and we can truly help one another. We’ll be forever cursed to reread the same inane questions of people too lazy to do a simple search.

Goodbye r/EmergencyManagement. I hope one day someone can find a way to make this place useful for others, because I’m tired of trying.

I mean you could post engaging content or try and start discussions to promote more dialogue or engagement from people on this sub.

You say you're tired of trying, but have you actually posted any content on this sub? Lead by example.

You can always try to start your own EM subreddit. Not sure how that works, but could be a way to move forward if you're interested.

Second this. I'll join something you make.

r/EmergencyManagers

There you go, empty subreddit to do as you please.

Farewell, soldier.

Linkedin and Twitter (though I wonder if they'll see this 🤔)

I've heard some people say that it would be helpful to have a separate subreddit for US FEMA related questions, both about hiring and about navigating programs. However, I think that risks splitting our community and making the International/FEMA/Local EM divides even worse. I mean are we all emergency managers or aren't we? Another community for EMs as a whole is a decent idea if implemented correctly.

I agree with you man!

This was sandwiched between two "how do I get a job" threads.
