Okay a few people have DMd me, and I’m feeling some kind of vague friction that feels currently on track to be a dealbreaker so let’s think that through here.
Problems:
I can’t tell offhand who’s good at this, and while I think this is something someone with little experience could turn out to be good at, they often won’t be, and it’s kind of costly to spend a slot on them, especially if I really need someone competent at it.
I often need someone “right now”, and need a way to contact a bunch of people quickly, such that most of them will get the message and one of them will reply quickly, in a way that isn’t too annoying for them but works.
I have a vision of a whole-ass website dedicated to facilitating this but right now want a quick hacky solution.
A group DM would work, but that feels like it’ll produce weird competitive dynamics with who replies first but maybe isn’t as good as the person who replies second.
DMing a bunch of people individually I guess is fine but but then I need to go find them.
A requirement for everyone participating as an assistant is that they have a way of being contacted that they’ll respond to quickly.
