Everytime I've checked the subreddit, other places of discussion like chapotraphouse podcast, etc... I am left confused.
What is this? Do I just not get it? What is the purpose of chapo? Why is the podcast entertaining to people?
Sorry if I sound like a dumbass but I genuinely want to know why people gather around the chapo name and listen to the chapo podcast.
My favorite thing about the sub was being able to search topics and find an array of differing leftists opinions. I’m not sure there’s any place I can go online and do that now. If their is please let me know.
It was a great pipeline to radicalize libs.
The show was good for a bit, but I was done after the “HR departments are shit” episode, during a nationwide protests. And then them constantly shitting on the sub bc some people hurt their feelings. And then them celebrating this biggest leftist online community being destroyed for hating slaves. So now I’m here and I hope we can grow this instance as well as other leftists instances in the fediverse.
I thought the hosts' disdain for the sub was a bit but I guess they were serious about that. I dunno, when a bunch of well meaning dorks who like your show create a mostly good community around it, it's very weird to constantly be like "you guys disgust me"
it's not a bit, the hosts are honestly mostly just kinda shitty people.
Imo it's mainly Will, and I think it mostly was a bit until that idiotic drama about the mods refusing a request by Leslie Lee 3rd's request to pin an episode of Struggle Session (podcast he co-hosts) and just kinda insulting him for no real reason.
To be fair Leslie Lee III is an asshole online and nobody wanted to listen to his podcast on Spiderman
Will is the worst and most annoying host by far.
He can be, but I think he plays a decent straight man and facilitator to the others' antics, so I give him some benefit of the doubt. Though maybe not so good a facilitator from what I've heard about the Taibbi episode.
i learned all my theory either from there or a source linked from there. its good folks
It is both heartwarming and terrifying to think about this. lmao
I'm not much different.
^This comrade reads theory.
I mean I learned alot and its not like I don’t know anything. Watching debates between factions allowed me to get a good grasp on things in addition to discourse collective summarizing marx for me
Collective discourse is key to theory, as sociology is the modern iteration of philosophy. Marx is even regarded as the father of sociology.
There is an archive of the sub on the github. Don't know if it's searchable yet, but I'm sure somebody will figure it out soon.
The GitHub? Which GitHub?
This one. Seems like a work in progress. There is an archive category(?) on chapo discord. I'm sure they have more info.
So at this point we are between here and discord?
I dunno. I don't like discord format but so I don't participate, but it says there are 10k people on the sever as opposed to 2k here. Not sure what percentage is actually active.
Yeah discord is not enjoyable for learning or discussing.
Discord's great for learning and discussing but it doesn't scale well to communities larger than a single person can keep track of.
it was about 300 or so less about 45 minutes ago before the announcement
Discord sucks ass, both as a company and as a way of talking for large spaces, so I deleted all my posts there and left the server as soon as they posted the official announcement of this place.
Awesome! Thanks. Wonder if there is a way I can contribute to scrubbing Reddit.
