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?
Be great to see take agitprop to the next level with a quick & easy catalog to peruse and agitate with
This is an excellent idea. However, we should keep in mind that copypasteable agitprop, while a massive time-saver for us, also means that our agitprop becomes easier to auto-moderate. we should anticipate this and use some of the time we save on arguing with libs and chuds on regularly updating, modifying and tailoring this content to make it harder for the opposition to keep track of it.
In terms of automatic text obfuscation (in addition to retooling), possible ideas are an ASCII ransom replacement of low perceptibility letters (Greek alpha for a, etc), translation and retranslation back to Eng via Google Translate of small random text blocks, random synonym-replacement via dictionary lookup. These all in the backend, serving everyone slightly different text.
But I don’t want to get ahead of myself :)
You’re saying I should add a feature request to the hexbear repo? One of the reasons I made the post was to figure out if this would be better as, say, a browser extension that allows for easy grabbing of non-hexbear material as well
