I joined chapo.chat from the discord. I was hopeful that we would be able to bring back some of what the chapo reddit was, a fun place for shitposting and I dunno, maybe praxis? What I see here is just all of the most hardcore people from chapo saying that eveyone who isn't on chapo.chat sucks. We don't have nearly the numbers for that to be a sustainable strategy. Right now, the hot feed is very "not fun". Lots of recrimination of people. A weird amount of fighting about china, and not nearly enough pig poop balls. That is all.

    Yeah generally speaking this shit sucks and I'm only here bc I'm both banned from the discord and too alienated from in real life to log off entirely from the Chapo internet

        Someone (paraphrasing): guys I'm still a virgin and it bothers me

        Me: virginity is a spook, dont worry about it

        Person #3: spook is a slur

        Me: not in this context, obviously. STFU

        Mod: @me hey knock it off

        Me: @mod suck me off

        Real liberal language policing hours smh

            It was a racist term used toward black people like literally 100 years ago. So banning someone for using it in a different way is just such obvious power tripping that I had to tell that mod to fuck themself lol

              The modern use for spook is spy, especially in left circles. I don't see how whipping out the unused slur thesaurus will do anyone any good

                It's the worst fucking type of wokescolding.

                Tbh tho if a person like that is a mod I'm better off not being a part of that community. All online left spaces are a psy op, but discord especially so.

                  The discord has like 100 channels and even if you are 24/7 online you can't follow all the drama. I missed that whole trans people getting banned phenomenon even though I used it a lot

                    I just barely caught it, and it took me a ton of research and paying attention and asking around to untangle what happened. The mods wanted to keep it on the DL which is kinda understandable since there was an impending launch, but if they thought it would "blow over" then that was a mistake. Seems like it's sorta under control now though idk

                      from the update of this post: https://hexbear.net/post/3351 it becomes clear that there was a "Shork server", so some people set up a whole 'nother discord for drama from another discord, for Christ's sake! The mods have now said they won't be doing anything, there was no substantial issur.

                      I hope this site will reduce the usage of the chapo discord because it only breeds this bullshit

                They loosened the filter so you can say acab and stuff now. The previous version was a carryover from the upstream Lemmy instance, and they run their community differently than we do.

                Yeah I think there's a divide in the community bt ppl who've embraced the dirt bag left aesthetic and those who haven't. But imo it is strictly aesthetic and doesn't reflect any of the real ideological disagreements the in the cth-exile-sphere

                  It sucks though because this place will never grow without that

                  Why would anyone stay here on this small offshoot site when they can say less than they can on Reddit which has more users

                  I'll stick to r/GenZedong or something

              I don't understand the phrase "virginity is a spook" nor why the word spook would be a slur?

                When I used the word spook i meant it's a "geist" as they would say in German. When you call something a spook you mean it's socially imagined and not a real thing. A common example of a spook is borders.

                However IIRC spook was a derogatory term used to describe black people like 100 years ago

                Look into Egoism and Max Stirner for former, slur for black people for latter

                spook: not real thing, a ghost
                spook: boomer-american racial slur for (I think) black people
