If I were Reddit and wanted to get the commies off my site once and for all, I’d see the banning of r/CTH as a failure. We scattered and couldn’t centralize content “democratically”, but most of us didn’t leave. They took away our toys but didn’t send us to our room. They may be banning these sister subs earlier this time to give people the message that they’re supposed to move to lemmygrad.
I think it isn't about getting us off but to slow down our agitation by disorganizing and discrediting. In that sense, keeping communities dispersed makes sense. CTH and GZD have been banned when they started gaining momentum.
Normies won't move to lemmygrad because they aren't commies yet, and making extra accounts on other sites is an extra step that'll stop a decent number of people who'd get pipelined by finding some memes relatable.
Honestly, we should be out there on single issue subs like /r/fuckcars or /r/antiwork, as well as queer subs. That's where folks will be receptive and we'll maintain a decent ratio.
I was radicalizing, yeah, but into the local trot party that had the biggest influence. If it weren't for loose anarchists wandering around reddit I'd never have escape the electoral quagmire that is socialist alternative
I love it, they'll come up to you as just some enthusiastic dude ready to talk politics, and then like 15 minutes in they pull out the email list. I got approached as a SAlt member at a SAlt event by a lost recruiter.
The funniest though was some dude on the bus heard me talking to some friends and then pulled open his trenchcoat, which was full of SAlt newspapers, and asked "you kids hear about socialism?" Like, an irl version of the shady Lenin meme. I was losing it.
Forgive me comrade for deviating from the scientific party line. I'll engage in self criticism and rid myself of bourgeois ideology for the good of the party and the revolution. 🙄

reddit is an op, but it's also the site that radicalized me
