Or the lib to lib pipeline as it is also known.

Seen so many people here saying they found the original sub by seeing posts on other subs that seemed different to the usual discourse (eg criticising liberals from the left) and that led to them finding cth through post history or whatever.

That's not really gonna happen now and I imagine we'll get banned pretty quick if we start posting chapo.chat in r politics.

I think radicalising libs is one of the strengths of chapo.chat as it has a pretty inclusive and humorous vibe which other left subs dont really have, plus as many people face the choice between trump and biden amongst the chaos of 2020 they are starting to realise how little power and control they have over their own lives.

Not trying to hype up the importance of this place, it's ultimately just a niche corner of extremely online weirdos but it's the best thing I've found out there.

So how we gonna get the libs in? Harry potter reading group? Deep fakes of Elizabeth warren saying chapochat has a plan for that?

    Giving exposure to original content sets off a feedback loop where people make more content so they can get that sweet sweet attention, so more people watch the space, so there's more sweet sweet attention, so people make better content to get noticed.

    We can all contribute to that by preferentially upvoting things that were made for this community by this community. (And mods can contribute by being frivolous about pinning things.)
