Admins don't like being associated with CTH (despite CTH being the only media source with a dedicated com, having each host represented in multiple emojis, and continually recycling their bits)
That’s very silly. How the hell did a community that began as a podcast sub end up with admins who hate said podcast and will literally dismiss you as a shitlib for enjoying it?
Sure, I won’t argue with any of that. I can acknowledge that the community has become much more than a podcast fan community, and I’m glad it has, but I never thought I’d see admins explicitly disparaging the show and its listeners and asserting that we should all be okay with the forum as a whole distancing itself from it. It just seems needlessly antagonistic, and I don’t see how they expect it to help anything.
what's the name changing to?
Hexbear.net
lol that's fucking dumb
well at least it's better than raddle
Why is it changing?

its not just admins, plenty of users are onboard as well
Also I would say most of us here don't give a shit about the podcast or anyone on it

Some users are on board. Not most.
We actually held a vote on this when the site was created. Chapo.chat beat Hexbear, and there's no indication that has changed.

I've always wanted to ask, just why? :whywhywhywhywhy:

We became a general leftist sub (in theory). A lot of people liked the culture without listening to the podcast. That was me at first.
But the podcast has sway over the community, even those who don't listen to it still get caught up in it.

The podcast hosts have hated us since the community started on Reddit.
