Or the lib to lib pipeline as it is also known.

Seen so many people here saying they found the original sub by seeing posts on other subs that seemed different to the usual discourse (eg criticising liberals from the left) and that led to them finding cth through post history or whatever.

That's not really gonna happen now and I imagine we'll get banned pretty quick if we start posting chapo.chat in r politics.

I think radicalising libs is one of the strengths of chapo.chat as it has a pretty inclusive and humorous vibe which other left subs dont really have, plus as many people face the choice between trump and biden amongst the chaos of 2020 they are starting to realise how little power and control they have over their own lives.

Not trying to hype up the importance of this place, it's ultimately just a niche corner of extremely online weirdos but it's the best thing I've found out there.

So how we gonna get the libs in? Harry potter reading group? Deep fakes of Elizabeth warren saying chapochat has a plan for that?

    Be a fun place to post and people will post here. Be a struggle forum with people calling eachother RED FASH and DUMB UTOPIANS and it'll go down to 3 people with a bunch of alts.

    I think it's important to note that leftist spaces online fucking suck, and the majority of leftists don't like that they have to talk about stuff on shitholes like Twitter, Facebook, or Insta. There is a demand for this kind of platform and I do believe there is a lot of room for growth.

      Very true, I joined CTH because it was entertaining as fuck and the passive aggressive relationship with the podcast helped. The dumb struggle sessions on r/LSC did nothing for me
