Thinking specifically about political posts that one might expect to be divisive, but post whatever you have. All the more fun if we can try to guess what the post was about based on who recommended it.

Also open to aesthetically pleasing recommend groups - like getting one person from each avatar color all from the same state, or something like that.

Inspired by this group I noticed on one of my posts:

I'll sometimes recommend posts where I sort of agree with the poster's point (but with the connotation flipped, where what they would consider a negative outcome I'd consider positive, or less commonly vice versa). I'll also sometimes like any post that mentions me, because attention is its own compliment.

Anyway, these are fun.

I can't check who recommended posts because on my Samsung phone, the little javascript overlay is about 2,800 pixels back up the page.

This post of mine was recommended by one person. The recommender still hasn't made a post in his own right for nine years - before I was even legally old enough to use social media.

This other post of mine was recommended by thirteen people. None of them are Red Avatars.

Made a post about Trump that received recommendations from two users who I would never expect to align on that subject: Runeghost and Shua.

There was that post that I believe was on a thread that I created that had most of the active VA avatars at the time recommend it. I think it was Fhtagn's signature for a while.

Not that noteworthy -- a group of left-wing and leftist adjacent posters (Electric Circus and Sprouts aren't leftists but you could say they are culturally adjacent) -- but it's on a totally apolitcal joke post.
