Used to pin comments on subreddits I moderated and use the space for communist propaganda. Each day it’s fairly easy to work out which post is going to become the next front page post, and pinning a comment to that post at an early time would secure it hits the maximum number of eyes as it reaches /r/all and frontpages on reddit.

So what I would do was pin a comment in whatever the thread was that would obviously blow up, usually I’d keep it relevant to the post but if not I would do the most ridiculous segue possible into whatever the latest bit of information was that I’d learn or personally enjoyed and spread it to others. Basically my thinking was “if I got something out of this information, others will too”.

Example of one such ridiculous segue: https://old.reddit.com/r/TheRightCantMeme/comments/n654ki/capitalism_sounds_a_lot_like_socialism_apparently/

Finding old posts by me now is actually kinda hard unfortunately so I can’t dig up a whole lot, but I did it daily for months and months. There’s a lot of content in /r/subredditdrama that specifically names me and a whole bunch of liberals that would definitely remember my old account names. There were some posts with thousands of “brigade” libs back then.

The trick was to understand the line between what you could say to be likeable in the reddit crowd vs what you couldn’t say, and also to make sure to remove as many libs as possible from the space to reduce resistance but not completely eliminate it, some resistance is good, resistance gives you something to post more propaganda responses to.

If I had the time to do it today I would probably be doing relentless China education, the time is ripe to make people pro-China whereas back when I was doing this in the past you couldn’t even mention China without risking people switching off to what you were saying because of how touchy the subject was.
