Effective Altruism on Facebook and Effective Altruism on Twitter (and more—maybe Goodreads, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc). Alternatively Effective Altruism on Social Media, though I probably prefer tags/entries on particular platforms.
Also, quite a lot of EA discussion is and has taken place on Twitter and Facebook; there are many EA Facebook groups, etc. Therefore, it seems natural to have entries on EA Twitter and EA Facebook.
At first glance, I’d prefer to have Effective altruism on social media, or maybe actually just Social media, rather than the more fine-grained ones. (Also, I do think something in this vicinity is indeed worth having.) Reasoning:
I’m not sure if any of the specific platforms warrant an entry
If we have entries for the specific platforms, then what about posts relevant to effective altruism on some other platform?
We shouldn’t just create an entry for every other platform there’s at least one post relevant to, nor should we put them all under one of the other single-platform-focused tags.
But having an entry for Facebook, another for Twitter, and another for social media as a whole seems like too much?
Regarding dropping “Effective altruism on” and just saying “Social media”:
Presumably there are also posts on things like the effects of social media, the future trajectory of it, or ways to use it for good or intervene in it that aren’t just about writing about EA on it?
And it seems like it’d be good to capture those posts under the same entry?
Though maybe an entry for social mediaand an entry for effective altruism on social media are both warranted?
Though also note that there’s already a tag for effective altruism in the media, which has substantial overlap with this. But I think that’s probably ok—social media seems a sufficiently notable subset of “the media” to warrant its own entry.
(Btw, for the sake of interpreting the upvotes as evidence: I upvoted your comment, though as I noted I disagree a bit on the best name/scope.)
(Just wanted to send someone a link to a tag for Social media or something like that, then realised it doesn’t exist yet, so I guess I’ll bump this thread for a second opinion, and maybe create this in a few days if no one else does)

I don’t have accounts on social media and don’t follow discussions happening there, so I defer to you and others with more familiarity.
