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 hot algorithm is ass right now. Decay doesn’t set in for posts if they get regular comments, so discussions just stay up.
Devs are pushing a fix ASAP, within the next day or two hopefully.
Please shitpost with us
Hot is basically controversial since comments keep things alive for so long lol
There’s a solution: go to the (good, non-controversial) top posts of the last few days and leave a comment. It bumps them up to Hot front page again.
It’s really easily abusable by anyone wanting to force the front page to look a certain way, but it’ll work for adding variety until mods can put in a new algorithm.
Fuck hot, all my homies hate hot
💪 NEW GANG 💪
New gang’s cool and all, but browsing Top/Day and Top/Week to find and bump the best posts that dropped off the front page? That’s real Stakhanovite shit right there.
