Over 1k subs in less than a day! How to spread the word?

submitted by lolreallyno4 from self.GenderCritical

How did everybody find out about this? I think I just randomly came across it in the now private /r/TrollGC (which seems to have been created on Saidit and then made private with the description "GTFO", i.e. they just made it so the name would be taken?).

What's the best way to advertise this place so that people know an alternative has indeed been created? Just word of mouth?

I found the link on /r/LGBDropTheT - their AutoModerator posts it on top of each post's comment section. People from the banned sub are reading discussions on /r/WatchRedditDie, /r/DeclineIntoCensorshipand GC-similar survived (for now) subreddits. Those are the places to post. + Individually PMing users from GC (can find them on web archives of posts and comments) and asking them to spread the word, to say, 3 other people

... and rising. They can't silence us, the sub might be gone but we sure as hell are not. I think I also saw this sub on /LGBDropTheT or a r/GC sister sub.

I kept visiting all of our sister subs and other radfem subs (just to name a few: banfemalehatesubs, pinkpillfeminism, terfisaslur, lgbdropthet, itsafetish, gendercriticalguys, trollgc, pornfreerelationships) trying to find word about where we moved, but found most of them had also been banned or made private. I found this site on banfemalehatesubs before it was banned.

I went to spinster after the ban and someone there gave me a link for here. I want to work on building up both places.

Same. I just am never going to take to Spinster, though. I was an early Twitter adopter and became thoroughly disenchanted literally a decade ago, even before the rise of the Woke. I found Gender Critical on Reddit when I was looking for anyone else who didn't believe that kids should just be given carte blanche to transition as minors. This format feels a lot more manageable -- I don't have to read every single post and I can dip in and out without feeling like I have to continually refresh.

I found GC originally via a link on feministcurrent.com during the last election cycle, I think when all the fuss about the TRAs attacking that professor Jordan Pedersen in Canada happened.

Around that time there was a user going around just dropping the link to /r/GC like everywhere in comments. I found it that way, anyway, might be an effective way to spread the word. As is sharing feminist articles about current events.

I found this sub here probably because I was already on SaidIt watching the aftermath of the expected ban wave.

Found it on r/GenderCriticalGuys, posted it to r/LGBdroptheT before I deleted my Reddit account (after giving Reddit an earful on their main site and through an app review).

The GC Twitter following is growing like crazy, so I think there's a lot of "get the word out" going on across platforms and person-to-person.
