I'm being genuine here, some thinks that chacha is an environment for genuine leftist organization while others thinks that this site is just a board to post shit. Forming a consensus around what the purpose of the site is, and developing the site towards that goal will be better for the growth of our community better than any name or any other vanity changes.

    This site has to be both a place to shitpost and a place for genuine organizing. It needs to be both, or it will not survive.

      I wouldnt know anywhere near as much theory as I do if it wasn't mixed in with memes. Getting some basic/safe activism organizing going would be great, obviously there's severe limits on what can be organized on a public forum

        We obviously aren’t going to be the lead for the organizing efforts, but sharing information and meetings about local organizing efforts going on seems very doable.

          I think that's something users can do already.

          "I like this org, there's a protest here" is something you can easily post on a place like this. We did it on the sub too. But, there's a limit to how much you can organize online, especially when everyone's anonymous.

            I think it can help with normalizing the idea of local activity without necessarily being the place to organize the doxfest that a chapo-based organization would be.

            Just posting shit and talking about ways to improve yourself as a leftist or telling others how to improve via anonymous struggle sessions. Seems like most of what this site already is.

      Online is where genuine organizing goes to die, and it seems like the mods are only allowing memes to springboard some kind of delusional attempt at an eventual communist revolution spearheaded on this website, which will just make it less fun. it should be at the very most 80/20 memes/organizing
