I think there's a place to talk about growth of the sub. When chacha started, it was claimed that this was supposed to be a leftist alternative to reddit where we would grow into a large community. If people are being permabanned for downvoting...that's not a good strategy. At least downvoting is gone now. I think that is a positive change.

I know nothing of the drama with the mods, I only recognize their names. I basically just come here for left perspective on current events + dunking on twitter libs. My hope is that this place becomes less niche, but that requires letting more people in who may be further center in the lib to left pipeline. I hope that we can accommodate and educate them as opposed to removing them from the discourse entirely.
