    Transphobia didn't suddenly happen. The problem is it's been a long-time issue here. Brigaders made it worse but you can't pin it completely on them.

    naw, don't give those fucking losers credit for anything happening here, the people leaving are specifying that it's being driven by casual bigotry shit from inside the house. The dumbfuck troll accounts, and even some of the slightly more subtle sleeper accounts they set up were pretty obvious and got banned swiftly after they started stirring shit.

            That is super fucking dumb no offense. Once you do that chapo will lose all its mainstream appeal and we will be preaching to the choir. Frankly this site crumbled to basic community college level infighting. Sadly once again the tankies were right should have just stayed on god damned r/socialism

                This place was never going to have it, the "dirtbag left" attitude had appeal to the Reddit crowd, but the remaining people here really need to reconsider if that's the people that we want to be attracting. There's not really a path back to recreating the old sub. The question is what we as users want the community to evolve into next, and I'm kind of disappointed in the answer (from the community at large).

                    I don't mean that it will evolve into anything other than a website, I think that's a pointless venture same as you do.

                    I meant what sort of online shitposting community we want to be, there are decisions to be made there.

                    Im just saying plenty of boring subreddits already do that, not once have i been able to jerk off to John Brown ever since the pronoun wars began. Within a month i fully expect the mods to ban all bernie bros not because they're succdems, but because they focus too much on class issues.

    Why is transphobia such a problem here when it wasn't such a problem in the old sub? Also I haven't seen any transphobia here at all but then again I don't look at new very often so it all gets deleted before I see it I guess

      It's all in the modlog. It doesn't seem like an issue because nobody ever sees it. The modlog is filled to the brim with reactionary content. Sometimes the mod reasons for banning don't look great because there is so much bullshit to deal with.

        Yeah I just found out about the modlog today and was looking through it. A lot of nasty stuff but totally unsurprising; of course there is going to be. Maybe we need more mods to deal with it so people don't get overwhelmed

    Can we just go back to telling trolls to post hog or is that insufficient now

        Bummer. I still think used action is a necessary part of combatting trolls and brigades. It's not like the original sub didn't have any moderation involved. But it was the combined user swarm defense and mod bans that got the goods
