    Going to take a break from this site along with other social media. I can't take the struggle sessions every other day. The most frustrating thing is I check the site once or twice a day so I don't even know what the drama is. It just seeps onto main and ruins the experience of the site.

    I can't tell whether there are legit bigots on the site or if the mods are just ban happy. Maybe hold elections for mods or something so we can hold people accountable?

    But anyway going to dedicate a lot of time to reading history, theory, working out, and finally get connected with my local DSA.

      Same, I’ve tried to come on here the past few days and it’s just like this insular dramatic bullshit. Reminds me of why I ended up leaving the chapo discord. It’s like 12 people and bunch of people taking sides.

        I hate it. The first few months were very similar to the old sub. Mostly lighthearted, I lol'd at a lot of the posts and comments, and disciplined marxist analyses. Basically everything that I want. Now everything is so negative, cynical, drama, etc.

        I realized old chapo is magic you can't recapture twice. Because of its location on reddit you had a variety of users. Normies, Suc Dems, and real leftists. I think that weird mix kept everyone out of their own ass. The mods were also nowhere to be found much of the time which is always nice.

        Sigh.

          I think chapo's position within reddit was essential because chuds provided a clear external enemy to dunk on, send ppb to, etc

          now that chapo is on a site with only chapos and the occasional raid it's created the conditions for us to eat ourselves alive

      ngl I find the drama super unappealing and I can't even make heads or tails of what the hell is going on

      makes me want to avoid anything that isn't a blatant shitpost for fear of somehow getting dragged into the drama

        True, the fact that most of us don't even know what's going on says volumes.
