      I dipped in there after the sub ban and it was actually a thriving community entirely its own and had nothing to do with the podcast or the main sub. It was a place where I could still learn how to be less of an ignorant American dumbshit. MTC added to my reading list right up to the last day. I had already long since mistrusted the Reddit admins and their empty platitudes about "free speech," but that sub ban just cemented what I had already known.

      I don't think their regex was really thought out. They were probably looking at "chapo(X)" instead of "(Chapo)" [or whatever, I'm not a regex engineer].

      Point is, the "moretankie" probably saved MTC than anything.

        Nah, ChapoDogHouse is still around. I'm guessing it was based on user activity and/or reported posts; I dunno, I have no idea what the admins' tool kit is like over there. But yeah, it should have been easy enough for them to do a quick search query against the subreddits database table and identify anything with "chapo" in the name.

          The few times I have seen the site admins explain themselves, this is exactly how they operated. They just get a database jockey to run the query, and the person who does the job is not involved with the site community in any way. A few of the founding admins were still competent enough to do bans themselves, but kn0thing was the last of that breed that I knew of and he just resigned.

          Summer has been so full of nothingness for me that I lose track of time.

            I've just realized that I've been spending pretty much the entire year sitting in my room, staring angrily at American politics like a lunatic.
            I need to get out more

        Many have not yet, but as we keep growing and becoming more established we'll be more visible and they'll find their way home :)

      A true pity. r/ChapoTrapHouse37 was the only one of them that was free of liberals.

      Yes but few were large or active enough to have an actual established culture. 2_2_2 was the third most established of the numbered chapos, after 1 and 2, IMO.
