How do we attract new users?

I don’t know what the pie discussion was but it is not an anagram of Troll Cheddar An Inch.

It does not involve a rapper who goes by the name of Chance.

You all should not interpret my lack of responses to each and every guess or idea as in any way indicative of accuracy or inaccuracy. I will try to comment on all of the more specific guesses or help a little when people are heading in a wildly inaccurate direction, such as the chancellor of Germany.

I know this is true for some significant percentage and it’s frustratingly shortsighted. Insularity is fundamentally at odds with a healthy community.

There is a 3rd&Chancellor in Childress AL.

Maybe this is how we do it.

Come one, come all, guess what ThirdAndChancellor is.

We’ve lost a lot of people in the transition. I really think we have to be proactive about attracting new users and finding ways to keep people from checking out if this is going to be viable. OTOH, there is an active community of several diehard 22ers who’ve weirdly committed themselves to spending years gaslighting and griefing and eventually hijacking this community, so some level of caution is warranted.

I still kinda think maybe someone should drop a mention of our site to Reddit politics communities, but I don’t know enough about Reddit to know if that’s a terrible idea or not.

It does not refer to the intersection of Third And Chancellor in Childress, AL.

grunching

if you want new users, advertise on twitter piggybacking off of Mark Hamill deleting facebook. we can be the place you argue about politics to replace facebook. I dunno, I’m not a funny person, so someone else can come up with something pithy rebel base evil empire blah blah

As a Londoner when I see something like ‘second and’ or ‘third and’ my emaciated cockney brain turns it into ‘second hand’ or ‘third hand’.

Yeah, but 2.19k of them are Russian bots.

Once again some snobby Brit is here to remind Americans that it’s pronounced herb because there’s an H in it ffs

At least that’s why I assume you mentally insert an H where there isn’t one

Maybe I am missing something, but can we just periodically tweet an invitation to come join us at the Unstuck Politics website? Or do we do that already?

@kre8tive?

I do that on occasion, usually in high trafficked and retweeted threads.

All those folks from the NSA following the twitter account prefer to just lurk the forum.

We should have a thread for those tweets if we don’t already.

Could probably set up a bot for it to auto-archive them here. @goofyballer, do-able?

I would suggest a tweet invitation to Unstuck’s next Walrus, but I’m not sure the servers could handle that kind of volume
