I think it would be better to just add a white bar at the bottom to fit the logo and name, instead of this kind of watermarking.
Looks cleaner IMO.But really good job nonetheless!
Kinda, but I think it's a bit too much. I think it would be best if it doesn't overlap and maybe some simpler font.
Basically something like the reddit watermark would be my ideal.It's not too obtrusive, but you know where it's coming from.
Thanks!
I coded this shitty web app that can be used to automatically watermark images if it's any use.
I like it really much, but the watermark you use is maybe too big, I'm gonna start using a grey transparent one.
Agreed, the watermark is just too obtuse and not subtle enough.
The ones made by @Druckknoedel have the period in the middle, here's the transparent .pngs from their post.
Thanks yeah I made these but I figured we could make them WAY smaller and maybe even turn down the opacity when actually adding them to a meme.
new new. I saw the post about the landlord lady and decided to check Chapo out when I saw it was favorably leftist. I'd tried switch from Reddit before, but all the other substitutes were right-wing stuff, and racist as hell, so this is a refresher for me lol.
yeah, it honestly is. Glad to see a leftist-based site for once.
also try submitting to /r/genzedong they are hardcore left they'd probably fit right in here
you'll likely be banned by the end of the week, but good job dude.
presidential race memes, enlightened centrism, all the left, these are all good spots to hit.
Add a share on reddit button.
This website should auto-generate a watermarked version of images to share.
This is working extremely well! We have 1900 users online and everyone is talking about the watermarks!
:party-parrot:
I don’t really know right now how to shill for the site, without being banned from Reddit.

I mean accounts will still get banned. It's just a matter of having enough to not matter. Also we need VPNs and/or ways of getting multiple IPs. And an email service that lets us have a lot of addresses.
there are sites that let you create a temporary email. takes 5 seconds
Yeah the linking isn't working totally. Sometimes it goes to the post, sometimes it goes to the whole thread.
Here’s my half-assed plan. It’s based on how people take over subs already.
- We form several groups/cells to perform different jobs.
- One group needs to create/maintain reddit accounts. These accounts will need to be aged and gain karma organically.
- Another group plans targets. Which subs to hit, what to do there, where to direct our upvotes/downvotes, timing of posting, etc
- Yet another group infiltrates target subs and acts as organic new users. This group has to be very disciplined because they will be engaging places like r/neoliberal, as someone new to politics. They will build trust and slowly, subtly start picking away at the targets. Very restrained sea-lioning. Just being curious. Getting people to explain themselves. Posting on-topic content to build trust.
- We use our dummy/raid accounts to boost the organic accounts when needed.
- We work our way into mod positions on target subs. Then we start to influence sub policy.
- We use our organic and dummy accounts to make new subs. Think of how many lib subs were created since 2015 and how big they gotten. If we had mods in there early on to steer the subs, we’d be in a better place now. So we should try to anticipate that for 2024/2025.
- We use our dummy accounts to manipulate existing leftist subs away from infighting and petty shit. We get them more radical and push them to chapochat. We recruit people for our agitation brigade.
- We keep all this activity behind closed doors, only letting in those we can trust. We don’t want a chud or lib seeing all this because they got curious and came here. We use signal, discord, whatever else to plan and carry out our plans.
- If all this is done correctly there will be in a much stronger position on reddit in a couple of years. Yes it’s slow, it takes time, but it has a high chance of working. Afterall, that’s how influence campaigns are carried out on reddit anyways. I’ve seen completely new people come into a sub and single handedly become mods in almost no time. They’re very methodical about it.
- Once we have enough power, enough mods, enough subs, we push back against reddit itself. We start opening up the throttle and pushing shit to the front page. Except unlike T_D, we’re too big to average out. It’s not just one sub doing it, it’s many. We take down power users and break up reddit’s cohesion.
- It may be helpful to do a community gilding fund. It sucks to give money to reddit, but they have all those shitty gildings now so we could gild lots of shit very cheaply. Gilding is part of what protects influence campaigns on reddit. They’re less likely to squash us if they’re making money and it seems organic enough.
It’s also possible to coordinate it along multiple Reddit accounts(posting and upvoting eachother’s posts).
Vote manipulation will get you banned, not to mention if you do this, you already posted proof of intent, which is probably all they need to complete a scenario case that previously may have only been "suspicious".
Is it maybe possible for multiple people to use the same account?
There aren't any hard stances/rules about this AFAIK, but I wouldn't be surprised if they ban you.
can I give anyone who is interested the password
It's better to not rely on having to trust others, but one option you have is to use https://nuxtit.netlify.app/ then sign in, but before clicking "Complete Sign In", give the URL to one person. They'll have most functionality of the reddit user but cannot change the password or delete the account. It's better to keep the number of people you give this out to be a minimum so you don't trigger some kind of spam/lost account feature that might shadowban you or auto-suspend you.
so that we can post 24/7.
It's kind of unnecessary, everyone having their own account is fine. Probably a better idea would be to let users submit to a form where you would click a delete button or a button that applies the watermark then posts to subreddit. Adding scheduling/queueing is good for that too. Tumblr might be a good GUI for submitters if you don't want to write your own front-end, then you could manually xpost from that or write a bot to add the watermarks and post. Tumblr and Reddit generally have the easiest APIs to use.
Yeah, I'm not sure we really need to set up a vote manipulation conveyor belt when that could lead to a ban/complete blackout of links entirely. I don't think the growth is terrible, the watermarks will help, but even if it was, wouldn't it be simpler to pitch in to hiring a PR firm on the side rather than openly saying "we will break your rules, please stop us from sharing these links"?
Is the watermark/strategy good?
Yes, as it makes it harder to automatically remove our content. I've heard on here that facebook already flags direct links to this site as spam, and i'd expect reddit to automoderate them soon.
Good work, but the posts didnt seem to generate any interest in chapo in the comments
Upvoted everything. I also still have a few coins left in my account that got given to me for calling out an enlightened centrist. Let me know if you want to make one of your posts more prominent by getting an award for it.
this is dope as hell, nice one
careful everyone clicking that account and mass upvoting shit though, could be considered vote manipulation if too many people start upvoting it using that link, have to follow the account and see the posts pop up organically on reddit and upvote them to avoid triggering flags
