I joined chapo.chat from the discord. I was hopeful that we would be able to bring back some of what the chapo reddit was, a fun place for shitposting and I dunno, maybe praxis? What I see here is just all of the most hardcore people from chapo saying that eveyone who isn't on chapo.chat sucks. We don't have nearly the numbers for that to be a sustainable strategy. Right now, the hot feed is very "not fun". Lots of recrimination of people. A weird amount of fighting about china, and not nearly enough pig poop balls. That is all.
Growing pains. Once this place stops being brigaded, it’ll start to get a community and culture of its own. I’m hoping it’ll be similar to, but improved from, the sub. I wouldn’t want it to be identical. Hopefully we can get some people in here who instinctively hate reddit because it’s a hive of reaction, but who are cool leftists who will be enjoyable to post with.
Yeah. but this is also a critical period. If people come here because it is linked on r/trueanon or whatever and they see it isn't fun they will leave imediately. Thats the direction I think it is going. How much moderation is there? Clearing the brigading posts quickly seems like it is critical.
There's that, which I think the devs are aware of, and iirc they are also planning tweaking the hot algorithm so that the FP isn't always full of struggle sessions
cool. Hope it goes well
