Missing those days of the old subreddit when I was just getting engaged in lefty politics. That sub was so uplifting. So many detailed analyses that I wish I saved. So many hilarious posts that always filled me with joy. Before I found the old sub I thought leftists were humorless assholes but r/cth really brought me along and cemented myself as a leftist.

I can’t exactly pin what’s different here but the whole vibe is off. I really wish it could capture the spirit of the old place but I’m not so sure. I know I’m not the most prolific poster but I’ve given this place 6-7 months and I’m not certain whether I want to continue or not. I’ll admit, I got caught up in the GME hype. Maybe because I seriously thought my life would materially improve at least slightly. I’m done with that stocks shit for right now. The split that happened on the site as a result of it was pretty bad. I really hope we can all do better, especially at lashing out at each other.

If you’re from the old sub who’s been along for the ride I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My life is much richer thanks to you all of you.

    Its because every once in a while you're looking at posts and then the autorefresh jumps all the content and you lose where you are and can't find it again. This leads to everyone being angry and confused all the time

        I'm on the fence about disabling downvotes at the moment too, while I miss it and it doesn't feel like chapo if you can't downvote a bad post, I also do like the effect it has on negativity as a whole, though it does seem to bolster the scold posts even further because they think everyone agrees with them and we actually need more of it.
