If so, kinda lame imo.
now the site can finally be named hereshowberniecanstill.win like it was always meant to be
Dear god I hope so
lib podcast? :cringe:
powerful bear :hexbear-shining:
? I didn't say the pod was bad.
In fact, pipeline content is extremely good and important right now.
Pretending like the pod is somehow to the left of this site (rather than the entry door most of us came through) is a bad take though.
You really think listening to a pod is some sort of practice don't you?
The pod and the site are both just media. Calm down.
Tons of people here have outgrown the pod.
The pod starts people down the path of leftism and into online leftist spaces. It doesnt funnel anyone into praxis, the online leftist spaces do.
Nah its honestly one the healthiest online comm ive seen anywhere.
Few places have people dedicated to improvement like this.
Damn, this is your first take that I want to downvote and I'm half tempted to enable them just to do it.
Personally, I find wanting the site to stay named after some shitlib (at best) podcast of reactionary doomer liberals that we're hardly associated with at this point to be pretty lame. Couldn't be me.
At least on the old sub, the podcast itself was often a topic a conversation. Here, I mean we don't even bring it up to criticize it much, if ever. I'm all for a name change. I thought the "Chapo" name was purely functional - so users of the old sub could find this place. That was over half a year ago now, time to head out on our own.
Hexbear.net is pretty rad and gives off big vintage vibes, imo. 😍
As opposed to...?? What the fuck is a Reddit? What's an Instagram? It's all meaningless. They're all made up words, lmfao.
As much as I'd like to co-sign the criticism of naming a website based on a forced bit that never really took off, glass houses and all that.
Discord for example started off as a slack clone. Then it evolved into its own thing. We literally had no time to prepare so we went with lemmy. Now we are slowly developing it into our own thing. What we are working on is already a departure of reddit's up/downvote system. Things just take time to develop and to mature.
By the way. Remember digg? Reddit started out as a digg clone.
As for the name. It really just isn't that important. Coca cola only sounds right because you're accustomed to it. People literally always hate on new logos, but it eventually everyone will just get used to them. The connection still has to be made to the 'brand'. That's why it doesn't seem right in the beginning. It works like that with names too.
Reddit's a better name then "hexbear" lmao. It's one of those Web 2.0 take a normal word and respell it names, Read it, Reddit.
Hexbear is a forced meme and this site's already cringy enough without being named after it.
Okay, then leave if it's that big of a deal to you? Nobody is forcing you to be here.
Wait actually? Fucking why? To confuse people who visit casually? To reduce the number of ex-r/chapos from checking this place out?
Is this just wrecker shit or is everyone just so online they think all 10 000 users here are as online as they are?
After the drama he wept. He promised 'a new start'. I made no posts. What should I resent?
Hey I followed your link for more information but instead I saw a picture of an animal performing a vulgar act onto its own genitals what's the deal friend?
There'll always be https://chapotraphouse3.com/r/chapotraphouse3 to keep the memory alive, but you can't post there.
Ironically, that would be https://chapotraphouse3.com/r/ppbfc
It makes sense. The subreddit was supposed to be a big tent type space for all kinds of leftists to hang out and joke around together. This place is meant to be more like a private discord server or something.

Oof
I guess we don't want members of the old reddit to find us as easily. Maybe they would have by now if they wanted it
