An Expansion to the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Initiative! Featuring RAK-Swarms!
If you haven't read the post that started all this, I advise that you do, or you'll be awfully confused. The RAK Initiative (Thanks to @scaredycatguide for the awesome name!) is meant to encourage positivity, constructive feedback, and general kindness towards others on Steemit, even if it's not someone you know or have spoken to before.
The first post linked above didn't feel like it had enough "meat" to encourage people to participate, so I wanted to step it up a notch.
Introducing: The RAK-Swarm!
I've created a channel named #rak in the Steemit Chat that everyone is welcome to join! This RAK chat will feature discussion between users, but for the most part it's where we will host the RAK-Swarms!
Wait, what the hell is a RAK-Swarm?
Every Friday (days and frequency can be negotiated) I will randomly select a user that's in the #rak channel, and everyone who is willing/able will send that person a RAK! Ideally, we'll have lots of people in the channel, so when a user gets RAK-Swarmed, they'll receive loads of compliments and nice little gifts to make their day/night!
When you send someone a RAK in a RAK-Swarm, you should have the memo include "RAK-Swarm" instead of the standard "RAK" so people know they got chosen to be swarmed! Try your best to attach a nice compliment to the RAK-Swarm too, it's not just about the money! These work exactly like normal RAKs, except for the tag in the public memo.
A Few Things I Need From You

This is such a sweet and thoughtful project! I love the idea of swarming someone with compliments and poetry (yeah, I snuck that idea in!) and generally smothering them in good vibes! LOVE IT!!!!!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it! The more people we have participating in the RAK Initiative, the better it will be! :)
Love that you've called it RAK swarms. Count me in spreading a little kindness sounds like a great idea.
Thanks! And thanks again for the idea. :) Come join the chat! (it's lonely in there lmfao)
