I don't think this site has the same charm that /r/CTH used to have. I used to get instant updates on news and activism (like before they would appear on /r/news and such), an appearance of left unity, and some decently funny content. Some of that remains, but 3/4 of the front page was shitposting, an 1/8th was some sectarian nonsense, and another 1/8 was late news. I know I'm being a whiner, but I still think my criticisms have merit even if they don't fix anything.
I think the main problem is there being less posters and a slower increase in active users. The sub got mentioned in other subs all the time and obviously reddit has a large user base so there were tons of posters and new ones coming in.
Growing on here will be hard because no mobile app, if someone thinks it's too radical it's easy to never come back, and encouraging people to join will probably result in raids instead of new members unless you ask like friends personally to come join. (I don't think the not having an app makes a huge difference)

We gotta start raiding reddit until we're the boogeyman again. I remember hearing people shittalking /r/shitredditsays and being like "I'm curious, what is this vile sub?" and it was just a collection of people being upset that reddit is racist. So I subscribed.
