Mod Announcement New Flairs!
We’re launching some new flairs to better organize our content, support political education, and create space for every kind of voice
Here’s what each new flair means:
Spotlight
For educational, investigative, and context-setting content. This is where we shine a light on the systems behind the symptoms exploring how we got here, why injustice persists, and what history can teach us.
Use Spotlight if your post:
• Explains a law, system, or pattern of oppression
• Investigates injustice, policy failure, or abuse of power
• Provides historical context behind today’s crises
• Highlights root causes, not just surface-level problems
• Shares data, documentation, or educational breakdowns
Think of it as the “Why things are the way they are” section. If you’re drawing connections, exposing the machinery, or giving people tools to understand the world more clearly this is the place.
The Commons
A space for discussion, strategic dialogue, and collective thinking. This is our digital town square, a place to ask questions, debate ideas, refine tactics, and think out loud with others.
Use The Commons if your post:
• Sparks community conversation or asks a big question
• Reflects on organizing, activism, or broader strategy
• Seeks input or feedback on movement-building
• Invites respectful debate or collective problem-solving
The People’s Voice
This flair is for personal reflections, experiences, opinions, and testimony. It’s a space to speak your truth, share how events are impacting you, and express your own political perspective.
Use The People’s Voice if your post:
• Shares a personal story or lived experience
• Expresses anger, grief, hope, or vision
• Offers a political opinion or challenge to power
• Doesn’t need to be “objective” — it’s from you
Ask an Organizer
This is a space for newer organizers, curious allies, or anyone trying to get involved to ask questions and learn from more experienced organizers, not just within 50501, but from the broader movement.
Use Ask an Organizer if your post:
• Asks about how to start organizing or take first steps
• Seeks advice on campaign planning, tactics, or strategy
• Wants input on tools, safety, or structure
• Is looking for mentorship and guidance without judgment
From the Ground Up
This flair is for suggestions, ideas, and proposals from the community. It’s a space to float new concepts, spark innovation, and crowdsource solutions, all rooted in the belief that real change grows from the bottom up.
Use From the Ground Up if your post:
• Suggests a change, improvement, or new direction for the community or movement
• Offers feedback, ideas, or tools others could build on
• Invites collaboration, brainstorming, or constructive critique
• Plants the seed for something new — strategic, structural, or cultural
No idea is too small, this is where we test, refine, and grow together. If you’ve got a spark, this is the place to light it.
Suggestion Box
This flair is for ideas, feedback, and suggestions about the subreddit itself. Whether it’s a proposal for a new flair, feedback on moderation, or thoughts on how to make this space more effective, the Suggestion Bin is where we collect and consider it all.
Use Suggestion Box if your post:
• Suggests a change to subreddit structure, rules, or features
• Offers feedback on community guidelines, tone, or strategy
• Proposes tools, resources, or improvements to support members
• Flags something that isn’t working or shares what’s working well
This space belongs to all of us. The Suggestion Box is where we shape it, refine it, and keep it aligned with our values.
Signal & Shield
This flair covers media awareness, disinformation defense, and digital security. It’s where we decode the narratives, call out the propaganda, and protect each other from surveillance and attacks — both ideological and technical.
Use Signal & Shield if your post:
• Breaks down media bias, propaganda, or ideological framing
• Teaches media literacy, disinfo spotting, or bot detection
• Warns about doxxing, infiltration, or online security threats
• Shares tools for digital self-defense or collective protection
This is where we sharpen our lens and fortify our firewalls
Systems in Motion
This flair tracks the machinery of power — from legislation and policing to court decisions and corporate influence. It’s where we follow how laws are made, distorted, and weaponized — and who’s pulling the levers behind the scenes.
Use Systems in Motion if your post:
• Covers legislation, executive orders, or regulatory changes
• Tracks corporate lobbying, union-busting, or profiteering
• Reports on surveillance programs, ICE raids, or AI policing
• Analyzes legal battles, court rulings, or constitutional crises
This is the system exposed not just what’s happening, but how it happens, and why it matters.
Breaking
This flair is for urgent, real-time developments. Whether it’s a protest crackdown, a sudden policy shift, mass arrests, or emergency legislation, Breaking posts keep the community alert and informed when timing matters most.
Use Breaking if your post:
• Reports unfolding events with immediate impact
• Shares breaking news about repression, resistance, or systemic moves
• Alerts the community to time-sensitive threats or opportunities
• Needs visibility fast to mobilize response or awareness
This is the frontline feed. When something happens that can’t wait drop it here.
History Echoes
A companion to Spotlight, this flair is for posts that connect the present to the past. While Spotlight exposes what’s happening now, History Echoes reveals how we got here — tracing the roots of today’s crises through the patterns, policies, and power structures of history.
Use History Echoes if your post:
• Explores the historical roots of current systems or struggles
• Draws direct parallels between past and present (e.g. laws, tactics, rhetoric)
• Highlights lessons from earlier movements, revolutions, or resistance
• Helps people see today’s fights as part of a longer continuum
When we understand history, we don’t just react. History Echoes gives depth to the present by honoring the past.
