    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.
