Comrades, on a recent mutual aid comm post, I received 8 upbears on my bump comment and zero other bump comments. This is a ROOKIE MISTAKE! Don't just give me heckin comment upvoterinos, BUMP IT YOURSELF! The more people that see mutual aid comm posts, the more mutual aid happens. You don't necessarily need money to contribute in this regard.

Comment mutual aid poats to bump for active sort. Also upvote the post, which helps it show up on Hot.

I am close to broke a lot so cannot mutual aid and have considered asking, but since joining chapochat it hasn't actually come up (by the skin of my teeth). Coincidence?

Communism is when you are materially secure (real)

And by bump, I mean comment bump (or anything tbh) as a top level comment or a comment reply so it shows up in active and/or hot post sort.

Also upvote the post.

hot doesn't take into account comments, only the post upvotes and post age

the internet is a magic money tree

attention is an unlimited resource

like, comment, share, and follow, you're doing your part to spread awareness

I mean, there's enough of us that at any given time, somebody can get a reasonable mutual aid request granted. If it's a big ask, they can get at least some help here.

Unless you're saying all that stuff with no sarcasm, because it's actually kinda true.

there are countless comrades out there with an unlimited supply of wealth

increasing the fraction of the social space made up by "please send $$$" content has no ramifications

Bump (don’t upvote, just reply bump. We can get this to the front page and prove a point or something)

Sometimes I donate, sometimes I bump, sometimes I bump and donate. I usually do at least one of the two for individual requests. And I try to upvote every bump, to help provide a small social incentive for bumping.

Edit: what I should really do is get to work on bringing back the old active sort (I'm pretty sure I know what to do, just gotta actually do it). I recall it being easier to get posts to the top of active back then.
