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.

        I think r/alltheleft got started recently in the wake of Chapo getting b&, intended as a space for all leftist tendencies, but while it's good to have it hasnt got the same size or energy that CTH did. But we're here now!

          Feels very weird. I participated here and there on the discord, but it's just not worth the mental energy to keep up with all the friggin scrolling. This format is classic and it feels good

              The auto refresh kinda pisses me off, keeps bringing me back to the top of the page

                This. I think it should show when there are new posts and prompt a refresh instead.

                I watched as the person I was typing a reply to edited their comment multiple times.
                I do that to, so good to know people are less likely to miss my edits now.

              The autorefresh sucks, maybe there's a reason no site does that.

              Horrible trying to read a thread with comments reordering every second.

            Yep for sure, only downside for me is i'm used to being able to browse reddit using RIF on my phone. But the mobile site for chapochat is far from the worst I've ever had to use. The devs are doing a great job.

        /r/DankLeft is alright. The content is really low-quality but it's been getting better as more professional chapotraphouse meme lords funnel in

        I think being so hardcore about a tendency is annoying and larpy. leftist is a leftist in my book. except racists/transphobes etc fuck those guys
