One of the major issues of chan- and Reddit-esque formats is their ephemerality: a quality post or comment pops up, it helps your understanding out a ton, and then you can never find it again. Optimally the best posts would be in a nice concise format for easy reference and agitprop, without the annoyance of having to make some Wiki edits which most people don’t do anyway.

As a solution to this, a feature to “canonize” a post (click a button, tag the post with a topic) that creates that topic (say Russo-Ukraine Crisis - Media Blackout of Ukraine’s Faults) and displays a collection of memes, posts, articles, etc. would be a great base for coherent and consistent messaging. Imagine just having to look up the topic and finding a collection of “here’s what works on your lib friends!” (Somewhat like lefty.booru.org, though that’s just images)

Would anyone else be interested in this?
