We're not named after the podcast we're named after the sub.

And I think a lot of you are missing out just how big a deal the sub was. There's a ton of people who know about the legacy of the sub but have never heard of the podcast. Due to his number of reddit users (> 400 million) I honestly wonder if the sub was more famous than the podcast - if you're not already on the left you probably have never heard of the podcast before.

And the sub is notorious for good reasons - high quality shitposting, unabashed support of John Brown, etc. I think we should keep the name because the sub is our heritage, and it's a good heritage.

I also think a lot of you are over estimating just how online potential comrades are. There's been a ton of work going into spreading chacha memes and spreading the word - the way that name recognition works is that each time someone sees that stuff it incrementally makes them more curious about checking this place out. Changing the name for no reason other than that some users don't like the podcast erases basically all of that work.
