The old sub played a strong part in radicalizing me. I came because I liked the dank memes, and then I stayed because I began to realize that the people there had a deeper understanding of the political landscape than other communities. I've been thinking a lot about the old sub vs ChaCha recently, because I'm not sure that I would stay in this place if I didn't already buy into the ideas. Should we be a radicalizing entity, or should we be a community for the radicalized? I'm not sure. I feel like the former is more important to have, but there should also be a community for the latter. I dunno, tell me your thoughts.

It's why the cia shut us down 😔
Never forget, the quarantine turned off exponential growth like a light switch. The sentiments shared here are contagious when given the chance.
There was talk about auto watermarking externally linked images from here. Did that ever materialize as an on-ramp?
Yeah OG Chapo had a vitality that this place definitely lacks. Obviously there's less than 10% of the users here rn but I agree it feels different. Maybe I'm just getting numb to leftist shitposting.
Yeah, and honestly I think being part of Reddit was part of it - not just for the visibility, but it always felt like we were kinda hungry for a fight

It'd be nice to be further forward in the pipeline like we used to be, but things like the subtitles ("America deserved 9/11" "Stalin did nothing wrong") and ppb in the footer are gonna be intimidating, even if they are good memes. I think once federation is a thing, we might get another shot though (but then again, the Lemmyverse is more or less on the same page with us as it stands currently).
If you wanna radicalize people you gotta get out there in your Ford Transit with "Free Candy for the working class, nothing for the bosses" written on it. We gotta lure impressionable youth in to the spiders web of mutual aid and beating up landlords.
You and me have changed since the old sub. And this is no longer it. I think we should definitely be a radicalizing entity to some point, but even in the later days of the sub if you werent already a little lefty you would be probably spooked by all the crabs and stuff. And also the format of this place is different - it allows you to have both more radical and less radical comms. But also having so many comms dilutes the stream of content, whereas in the sub everything was together in one place. We didnt get a new sub, we got an entire fucking reddit (God help us all).
