Kept thinking about this while i was doing laundry. I'll write this and then go back to thinking about asks.
ZDR technically has its own form of social media in forums. They're completely insulated from the rest of the galaxy, and the Mawkin use them to communicate with their comrades across the planet. There's a centralized platform where individuals can subscribe to certain topics to keep up with them, and there are community forums.
Say you're an engineer, and you opt to keep tabs on a new project in Cataris. You'll be notified when the people participating in the project record the day's work in the log or post about it.
Say you're a disabled senior living in a village within the depths of the planet. You can post on your community forum: "Good evening, I am feeling sick today and cannot make it to the hearth. I would appreciate if someone could come over and make some soup", and your neighbor (+ three other people) would undoubtedly respond.
The military passes announcements on through the chain of command and during meetings. If you're a soldier, relevant news will be passed to you by your commanding officer. News from higher administration that affects *everyone* is passed through these channels and posted on the community board.
This begs the question: does Raven Beak use these social channels? The answer is "yes, but sparingly". He hardly posts anything at all, and really only checks it to see what people are up to. He unfortunately does not post thirst traps for people to salivate over and make horny comments on.
He does, however, occasionally "like" his subordinates' posts. And you can bet your best dollar that people post screenshots of their "Raven Beak liked your post" notifications online for clout.
There has been at least one instance where Raven Beak has borne witness to a soldier thirstposting about him, liked it, and turned off his notifications, knowing full well the forums would explode.
Gotta shake things up sometimes, you know? Cause a bit of chaos and come back later to read through all the beakblr girlies keysmashing and screaming and cry-laugh-typing over the fact that Raven Beak himself saw this guy's post about wanting the Commander to crush his skull with his big, meaty thighs.
