We are a decentralised movement that is constantly changing. That is why there are many channels on Mattermost that are (almost) no longer used. Don't you see any recent messages in a channel? Then try to find a more general channel. If in doubt, send your message to asks and requests.
Before you can view the channels in Mattermost you need to have an account on Mattermost. Read here how to create an account for mattermost.
There are many channels with the national Extinction Rebellion team. To help you on your way we explain on this page the structure that is being held by most channels. We also highlight a number of main channels.
To organize channels easily many channels start with a number, @ or _. That structure works like this:
- Numbers for channels per theme
- Channels that start with the same digit have to do with the same theme and are managed by the corresponding national working group. For example, every channel that starts with the number 1 has to do with media & communication. So you have the channels at the time of writing 1.7. Newsletter and 1.8. Broadcasts
- With the more numbers the channel begins, the more specific the subject. Thus there is the specific channel 1.5.1. Streaming on socials. A little more general is the channel 1.5. Social Media and even more general is the channel 1. Media & Communication.
- @ for community group channels
Channels starting with a @ belong to a community group.
