No commentary here. I just think we should find more comrades and bring them into our fold. How do we do it? Post your ideas, no matter how wild. Maybe someone will see it and get inspired and make something happen.

Others have said similar things, but TikTok/Instagram/YouTube accounts posting short daily "best of" videos or something like that would work well if enough users coordinate to boost the accounts. Could probably even monetize and fund the site or buy drugs.

I don't even think it would be that hard. Pick a format and stick to it, use AI voiceover and captions, and just do slideshows of memes, funny comments, etc. Slowly include Hexbear jokes, explain the lore, drama...people love this kind of shit. There are literally millions of commies on TikTok. I've seen fullblown leftists with over a million followers.

Yeah, the leftypol twitter account does a similar thing and is pretty successful at attracting attention for their site
