We also need general politics posts to grow the movement to new people who have never heard of proportional representation before.

That’s an interesting idea, though I don’t think it is the only way to achieve that goal. I think mentioning PR in and crossposting to general Canadian politics communities could work too.

This isn’t what I’ve found to be the case based on the community statistics I’ve been tracking every day.

I’m not sure that raw engagement is necessarily the best metric to track. Outrage is great for engagement, but often does not lead to constructive action. For example, I’ve increases in “haha, PP bad” comments, which, while they might be true, exacerbate political division and do directly advance awareness of PR.

Is your strategy to use engagement-optimized posts as a sort of advertisement for the community? That would be an interesting idea, though I am unsure of its effectiveness.

I’m just a volunteer, so you really shouldn’t be expecting anything from me for a free service.

Of course. I hope I didn’t come across as ungrateful. I’d love to see this community succeed at its goals of getting PR implemented across Canada. Thank you for all the work that you do. :)
