 hashtags for social philanthropic altruistic skateboarding initiatives  hashtags for social philanthropic altruistic skateboarding initiatives  building community hi all i was recently posting on our social media when it struck me that it could be a good idea to agree interorganisationally on a hashtag that would encapsulate all the different social philanthropic altruistic skateboarding initiatives that our community on here represent something that when searched for would result in finding a whole range of different actors that are active across this space i know goodpush itself has been using socialskateboarding quite consistently but skateistan and others have also been using skateboardingfordevelopment and other terms still others use skateboardingnonprofit skateboardingcharity skatecharity or some other derivation of these should we try to streamline one of these i think it would be good in order to strengthen our collective presence to bring forward to the more general public that this is an active and growing sector do you have any favourite hashtag and if so why personally while i like socialskateboarding i find the social in it a tad vague and imprecise the term social just means so much else as well besides its altruistic charitable meaningthe development term is super loaded with colonial connotations so i wouldn t go with that either maybe charitable or charity is the way to go or something else generally what are your thoughts on this have a good one troy troy cjf tue 9242019 1636 love this idea by rhianon on thu 9262019 1338 hey troy this is a really cool idea when i m posting from the goodpush account i always feel that this is a bit of a gap it s a bit tough to find something that works globally i think because charity is not used commonly in some countries with nonprofit ngo or notforprofit being used instead and i totally see your point about socialskateboarding being vague without context to be honest when getting goodpush going it was difficult for us to settle on a term that we use for talking about our sector and this one seemed to be one of the most straightforward and not too long options and it s not really used for any other meaning as a hashtag another term that i think is quite nice and globally applicable is skateboarding for good which builds on the whole sport for good idea maybe skateboardingforgood is too long once we get a few more ideas on here we could run a poll or also ask for input ideas on instagram great idea by lewisshields on thu 6112020 1008 hey guys troy really interesting to hear your thoughts on this i can definitely see your point about the connotations of development and the vagueness of social skateboarding although maybe vagueness is ok if we re looking for a broad hashtag to encompass the whole sector i agree with you rhianon that a poll would be a cool idea would love to hear some more ideas for things to include on the poll feel free to post any suggestions
