We’re going to need to participate on normie platforms like reddit in order to get more users & content here. We’re also going to want to have a place on reddit (and elsewhere) where some of our content can thrive and become more accessible.
Apparently, Facebook is already marking our URL as spam. I’d imagine reddit will follow if not already. So we can’t just dump links onto every marginally left-wing space.
Let this be a thread to spitball some ideas.
idk, maybe leftypol is an option. though they tend to be more hostile to idpol, which isn’t the vibe here.
We should probably be taking our culture into account while planning our growth. I’d hate to watch this place become more like stupidpol or libified because we grow faster than we can prepare for. Fast growth and normification ruins a lot of decent spaces online…doubly so if coinciding with the removal of other communities.
Moderation strategy should definitely seriously discussed before we grow beyond control. All it takes is r/stupidpol, r/PoliticalCompassMemes, and a few other yucky communities getting banned from reddit and we’d have a huge threat to our current culture. Not necessarily an existential threat, but migrating elsewhere would be a blow to our progress.
Not to mention, we should be prepared for coordinated attacks seeking to ruin this place…be it chuds, fash, radlibs, infighting fetishists, or alphabet bois.
None of these are immediately pressing matters, but we should be prepared before we have a problem we aren’t ready to deal with.
