No one in the community asked for this. It just seems like a couple admins wanted to do this and we’re all forced into this terrible decision.

Quite annoying and makes me want to use the site less if this is the direction we’re going.

    It sounds lame. Main was descriptive. Traphouse is obtuse and makes people think you’re talking about the podcast. I thought this was a citations needed site?

        If emulating the old subreddit was the goal, then splintering into different communities was the wrong step, because the subreddit didn't have that. But obviously we're past that point and this website needs that kind of partitioning for when/if it gets larger.

        But now that we've got our content spread into multiple communities, the idea that any one community is going to emulate the old subreddit is silly, because the old subreddit consisted of exactly the content that's being scattered to the other communities (which is fine). The only way for c/TH to capture that is if everything is double posted here. Which is obviously bad and dumb, folks who want that experience should just browse all (which fwiw I do).

        I don't care about main, but repurposing this place for the purpose that you described doesn't seem useful.

        Plus, I actually did want to kick up a convo about the podcast and lo and behold the subreddit that was specifically for that got turned into a junkyard.

        (the "what podcast" bit is funny enough but if that joke is influencing how y'all run this site, I'd strongly urge you to reconsider.)
