    I agree that they're coupled but only in so much as for every 1000 users you might find 1 or 2 that perform more Acquisition regularly. Where do you see the criticisms? I might need to go hunting and collating that information into something useable and useful to look at and suggest changes. In every instance where I have done advertising for the site I've not seen it a single time other than chuds doing their whole "lol chapotards" shtick. Getting site critique when mentioning the site is not really my experience. Maybe once or twice in Discord but those people were literally repeating wrecker stuff and clearly had come into contact with wreckers spreading bs.

      Just look through here.

      That's our public image? Is 90% of it wrecker shit? Sure; but a new potential user doesn't know that.

      Take for example Raddle. Now I don't know anything about Raddle. But I've never been tempted to check it out because anytime it gets mentioned it devolves into two people yelling at each other. That might not be fair to the hard-working Raddle team, but what can you do.

        Hmm. This seems grossly incomplete. It doesn't include anything I've posted, even when I adjust the search for more specific words I use when advertising it doesn't include most of my posts... Strange. This version lets you search specific authors btw: https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/

        The version you linked used to let you search by author but removed the functionality at reddit's request.

            Oh yeah they'll definitely match up, they both use pushshift, it's the same database. What I'm getting at is that it's incomplete.

            Do you see these posts in there? I don't. Even when I explicitly change it to "chacha". Some content just appears to be not getting picked up at all.

                Interesting. It should show up for the full URL too. It seems just a little bit scuffed. It's interesting that it's missing some of these comments because they're extremely high-value ones stickied to major threads that are reaching /r/all.

                These threads are mainly responsible for all the libs here lately. You're welcome. :che-smile:

                  I wouldn't read too much into it, especially if explicit chapo.chat mentions seem to be coming through just fine. Suvivorship bias being what it is though, you might want to start including the full name as a test when you post adverts.

                  I wouldn't do adverts at all though, but that's just me.

                    The adverts will continue until the libs learn. Either way they've been extremely useful in signalling to the socialist community on reddit that TRCM is a space for them. The discussions there shunted leftward by a huge margin in just a couple of weeks of ideological brute force, stickying propaganda and banning the shit out of everyone that complains has been highly effective with only a very marginal reduction in activity and no effect whatsoever on the position the subreddit reaches on /r/all.

                    If I ever manage to get into a sub with 500k+ or even any of the subs with 1m+ subscribers they will become mass radicalisation weapons.
