Comment on Surely the moderators, admins, investors and bots would never interfere in any way

Yeah but here is too small to meaningfully impact anything.

Best you can hope for is to build a reddit community and then offload them here (or discord as an intermediary) to actually talk freely.

The feminist movement in the 50s/60s started with Tupperware parties because women could finally talk to one another outside their homes.

Nothing is too small of a beginning.

  Tupperware parties didn’t have Tupperware owners and investors enforcing the dialogue and policing their discussions, I assume

I don’t think so. A smaller pool does mean smaller odds that someone will take what you are offering and do anything with it, but it’s still possible to affect change, especially if you are asking people to affect things actually within their control.

But, with that said, your impact will likely be stronger if you communicate with the people near you locally instead of online, since you and those (physically) around you are affected by the same localized forces.

The internet is a good place to collaborate on ideas and methodologies; your local community is a good place to try to implement those things.

If you’re organizing a new political group, you’re going to be setting up a lot from scratch.

Pointing your core of supporters to Reddit instead of a more private and independent space means setting them up to be exposed to the freaks and the bots.
