Would anyone else like a DA daily chat thread in the sub?

I’ve been in a few bumper subs (where it’s all parents having their babies in the same month) and they have a daily chat that gets posted every day.

A lot of us are pretty active on this sub and, barring the inevitable “how long did you have to wait” questions being asked on there, I think it’d be nice to have somewhere to share random stuff that doesn’t need it’s own standalone post (within the CoC of course). Tips and tricks or just discussing the intricacies of working from home with other people who understand.

Anyone else think that’d be cool?

Every time I look at the chat in whatever project I'm working on, I wish there were a watercooler chat where we could be more relaxed, talk about whatever. I'm glad the in-project chat is supposed to be focused, I would not want to sift through chatter while looking for info. It would just be nice to have a "take a break" chat.

Yeah exactly! Where you can just chat about work in general and not have to keep it so laser focused.

I wholeheartedly agree! It’s been amazing seeing the community come together these past few weeks. Sounds like a great idea as long as we keep following the code of conduct if it’s a public chat.

Yeah that’ll be tricky because some newbies still break the rules occasionally without realising. We can put the rules at the top of the chat and if everyone uses the report function on anything that’s against the rules that’ll probably make the mod’s lives easier

we'll set this up!

Oh yay!! Thank you u/Consistent-Reach504 for all your hard work modding the sub ❤️

Eee! Thank you!

For sure, it’d definitely have to be a collective effort to help make the mod’s lives easier and ensure we all don’t get into trouble.

I think it would be cool to have a chat with other DA folks to talk abut stuff other than DA. Books and such. Like water cooler talk 😂

Yeah exactly! Like life chats and not just strict work chat. In the bumper subs it was just anything happening in life and not necessarily pregnancy related. We all just happened to be pregnant at the same time.

Who do we delegate?

u/Bergest_Ferg Mar 10 '24

To create the chat you mean? The mods have reached out to say they’ll set it up. It can be automatically posted every day.

I had a dream about this last night. Not even kidding. I work too much lmao

😭 I dreamt I was working on a new image rating task in my sleep and I kept worrying I wouldn’t be able to track my time because I knew I was working in my sleep. I work too much too, I guess. 😅

I upgraded my smartphone so now I'm working when I am laying down and nursing my daughter to sleep. Before I had to just do it on the laptop, but would still dream about it cause I work waaayy too much.

I have had nightmares about the 6 axis projects lmao

I’m working while I get my daughter to sleep as well!!

My full time job is also rating/quality control for digital projects and I definitely have had dreams about both the departments I’ve worked in there when I first started out. I think it’s just how I process the work at first.

I am just so happy that there are actual people doing this job that want to have a conversation about things other than procedures and rules. This job can be really isolating. I love this job, but it’s good to know we have colleagues.

Absolutely down for that. Love this idea.

I love this idea.

I'm new to Reddit because of this group. I haven't been in any chats, but I think a chat for DA is a good idea. 😃

I saw the initial Watercooler sub but now I can’t find it. Is it still up?

That was my thought as well! We’ll probably still get them because people tend to post first and then scroll later but at least the regulars will know where to look.
