    Chapo.chat is really morphing into something the subreddit was not, and it's a bit of bummer to know that it's really gone and won't be coming back.

    Debating? Really?! Of course I get and support the transphobia Purges and bans, but debating? I feel like the mods have got a little powertrippy and think they can shape this forum into what they believe it should be, but that should not be their place, a forum should be organic (minus slurs, abuse ect). And this is coming from someone who really admires the mods and admins for all the work they have put into the site.

    There has to be some transparency or some step in taking the hands off the reigns, or this experiment is gonna fail. Sorry for the rant lol

    Edit: just want to emphasize I really appreciate all the work the mods/admins have put in, far more then most of us have. I understand it must be a difficult position to balance thousands of people's desires for what the site should be. Just think it should be more hands off or, maybe democratic/transparent, I dunno..

      The good news is that federation is set to be implemented, so we can have other instances that have different cultures, but still can interact with each other

            itll be nice to have some fresh blood flowing in. I wonder how large chapo is compared to other lemmyies. We gotta be up there.

              I think we're the largest, and I believe there are only two others of any note.

              Speaking of fresh blood, you might want to check out my thoughts in this comment: https://hexbear.net/post/68693/comment/713964
