“The 25,000 mark has been exceeded,” posted Servane, one of the group’s creators The salty bottoms of GuérandeAugust 12, on Facebook. A new version of the group “You know you’re from Guérande when…”, created in the 2010s.
It now has more than 25,000 members, starting from a town with 15,000 inhabitants. Almost hand-picked, they must validate a charter to be part of it. “There could be many more of us if we validated everyone, explains the manager. But what we want is to be a useful and caring media, which puts humanity back into the system.”
Around thirty posts validated every day
Alongside him, four moderators take care of publishing or not the post, around thirty each day on the “100 or 150 that are offered.”
“They must be useful to everyone or interesting and speak from here, indicates the group. No classifieds, no real estate, no medical, no pet related, etc. Creating a warm environment is everyone’s responsibility. Let’s treat everyone with respect. It’s okay to have constructive debates, but it’s essential to remain friendly. Commitments that might seem simple, but are far from easy to enforce.
