boring as fuck jokes, liberal cringe opinions, 9 bad takes out of 10, and more galore. Should hexbear really keep associating itself with Chapo, it really seems that hexbear has outgrown it in general.
edit: by associating i mean using things like chapotraphouse com or askchapo or chapochat. maybe we’ve grown beyond it, maybe its a neat part of site culture and a nod to its roots while not connected to the cringe stuff.
Yeah, I think everyone who was a fan of Chapo/Trueanon in 2016 has moved on to The Deprogram / Blowback / Democracy Now! etc.
I still tune in to Hasan and Chapo if a topic interests me, for things like movie reviews and stuff.
(Also Hasan has been blowing up in my feed because of all the Twitch drama atm)
I really doubt that this is the case. The Deprogram seems to have a much younger audience than Chapo and TA (at least if their subreddit is anything to go by and a lot of their stuff seems to be purposely geared in that direction as a sort of “baby’s first socialism”), and DN is just a completely different concept altogether. Blowback seems to be popular with basically everyone, but is also a very different concept.
I guess I meant more as in that Chapo’s audience has moved further left than them, and are looking for more “serious” analysis.
Deprogram is more internationalist (which is good) but it also tends to draw out the class reductionist (which isn’t as good).
Yup… and those who were in r/cth moved to- other places, wherever they might be. I wound up in r/Sino and r/GenZedong (still look once in a while) before hopping onto the 'grad, and then coming here (for emotes and larger community) lol
As for the users, there’s overlap between r/TheDeprogram, r/LateStageCapitalism, r/WorkersStrikeBack… and here and Lemmygrad, but I don’t envy anyone who stayed on reddit cos the place is hella astroturfed right now, between Zionists and Liberal “Harm Reduction” Dems (I know I repeat myself, but still).
Lol I happen to be a mod in one of those subs and holy shit have the libs been going wild lately. We’re probably banning like 1500 people a week or something
