    Our best bet for picking up users is hoping former sub users end up here because they remember the memes.

    Why even exist at all if that’s all we’re going for? It’s like this site is determined on having a boomer mindset.

      I'm not saying the old sub is our ceiling. I'm saying that there's no reason to ditch what little name recognition we have just to slap a fancy new label on it. Keeping the name just allows former sub members to more easily find us.

        And alienates us from any other group. If you were a streamer/podcaster/social media personality would you promote a site with the name chapo in it?

          Yes? Who does it alienate? Is there a single person who would be off put about our potential connection to El Chapo Guzmán, but not our guillotine memes?

          No media personalities are going to be promoting us regardless of the name. We are our own promotion. Start posting danker shit if you want more users here.

          Being vaguely connected to the subreddit that sent r/neoliberal into a tantrum upon mention is a net positive amongst the cohort that would consider joining.

            I disagree that no media personalities are going to promote us. Most of the posts i see on here during the day comes directly from Hasan’s comments or what he’s talking about on stream. But they def aren’t going to promote us with the name chapo.chat.

            I don’t think neoliberals would be too happy with a name like lib.rehab
