We are all aware at this point that naming subs with chapo and tankie would eventually lead to a ban. But we wish to name subs in a way that have some resemblance to our philosophy. With this in mind I want to propose (!!) using the name ‘Koba’ with some combination of other words. A lot of us know that it was Stalin’ s alias during his organising days as a Bolshevik party member. He only assumed the name Stalin during his last stint underground(This is Wikipedia sourced, so take it with a grain of salt). Anyway since most of us are MLs, I find the name strikingly suitable for a subreddit. Also since most reactionaries are unaware of this and from what it seems , the hunt is mainly after tankie subs, most of which unsurprisingly have ‘tankie’ or ‘chapo’ in its name, I think it’ll be safe to use this name. Also there is a stupid ape movie with a character of the same name.

However there is no point in randomly rolling out subs, it should be coordinated and mods of MMTC (former, sorry) can consider this. They can wait a while before coming out finally. Also they have a booming discord, so there’ll be no problem coordinating.

Thank you

It’s time to go underground .

        I don’t totally understand the reason behind it, but sure. I don’t have anything good to say about reddit, and I only use it to try to educate libs. Also, don’t we suspect that Reddit is tracking accounts tied to banned subs? This might not work without making new accounts

          They do in fact have tools to track the movement of users after they ban a sub that either manually or automatically flag subs that suddenly have a lot of those users in them. The thing is these tools can be defeated with time via enough users of a given banned sub making comments and posts in unrelated subs (say politics or cooking) at which time they’re no longer associated with the old sub as I understand this. We really should take a wait at least a month approach before trying to create a new sub and all persons who want to stay on reddit should be encouraged to post on unrelated subs. This is of course assuming the admins haven’t applied some permanent “chapo communist” flag to all accounts which is possible but it seems less likely than them just using generic tools against all recently banned subs.

          Not sure if they are tying accounts to banned subs, but if they are it might be more complicated than just making a new account. They tie accounts to eachother based on browser fingerprinting and IP address. One of my accounts was banned from /r/conservative and when I got banned there again on a second account, I got an automatic site-wide 3 day suspension since they tied the two accounts together.

            use a VPN or Tor. As an added bonus, you can pirate stuff online

          Well, let’s see if they ban GenZeDong and the other MTC adjacent subs or if they stop at ones with Chapo in the name
