If you manage a community that is even remotely controversial, you’d better start asking your community for their email address, as an emergency backup.
Possibly even ask for their phone number.
Though it's tempting, don't message them at all. Just hang onto it.
Only use it to if your community is banned and you need to start over somewhere else. Then email/text them the location of the new community.

- nojokes 6y agoCan you elaborate?
- Triv888 6y agoYou probably should start an alternative community right away so that you can promote it in the current community and maybe cross-post until you get banned with a warning on each post in the twitter/facebook community.
- joncrane 6y agoExactly. Many controversial instagrammers create a backup instagram account that they only barely use, and occasionally refer to. If their "primary" account gets banned, the backup already exists and has a history. I suspect people do this with Twitter and other social media accounts as well. I suspect you can do the same thing with groups. For example when WSB went down there were already backups within minutes.
