It's not everything, but I had a softspot for those Communist playlists on youtube in my SuccDem days. Let's not forget that the IWW was making memes and songs back in the day. That Sabo Tabby is remembered to this day.

Ehh, as others said it can feel like more praxis than it is, but I do think it helps. It shouldn't be underestimated how much spaces like this can help with mental health.

If I was without this site, the amount of right wing, anti-trans, and pro-israel shit I see would have driven me into serious depression. Having a spot like this genuinely keeps me afloat.

Not always, but it feels like it does

not really but it's fun and can do a little to spread the message

The steps to any political action are agitate, educate, and organize.

Step 3 is the most important, and can't be done in any meaningful way by posting. But posting can certainly be used in steps 1 and 2.
