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.

      /r/Sigmarxism, when we first started we poached many of our members from /r/ChapoTrapHouse and /r/Gamerghazi.

      There's also a decent lefty Star Trek sub out there somewhere iirc.

        /r/DaystromInstitute is a great place for pro-socialist effortposts in the context of Star Trek. They eat effortposts up, frown on oversimplified chud-style responses, and are low-traffic enough for a decent post to get good visibility.

          (to be honest I have been super slacking as a mod, haven't really been on reddit at all since r/ChapoTrapHouse was banned. Does not surprise me to hear, but we had a pretty good "childhood.")

        /r/RedshirtsUnite/ is probably what you're thinking of? Unfortunately very inactive though.

      Yeah maybe remove r/Pete_Buttigieg, I just visited and I can already feel the brain worms taking hold

      /r/Pete_Buttigieg

      Was that a Mayo Pete sub that was liberated by the left?

      Also, it might be a good idea to piss off some reddit neolibs, and make it known where we came from. They'll whine about us, and they're insufferable enough to drive left-minded people to look into our community. I'm pretty sure they inadvertently signal boosted the original r/cth sub.
