No commentary here. I just think we should find more comrades and bring them into our fold. How do we do it? Post your ideas, no matter how wild. Maybe someone will see it and get inspired and make something happen.

    Wasn’t that a big point of criticism leveled at the Admins during the nascent days of chapo.chat, that they failed to retain or being back even even a tenth of r/cth’s userbase? To say, ‘this site has never prioritized growth’ is kind of an affront to everyone who saw this site as the lifeboat that would retain the massive community that was fostered on reddit

      I don’t remember admin being blamed for not getting a similar user base to r/CTH as I see it that’s hardly the job of the admin team that responsibility lies with all of us.

      I agree with your last point though.

      I mean, they also banned a lot of that early “lifeboat” userbase, and also changed the entire name of the site specifically because they didn’t want to be associated with the old subreddit; or the podcast anymore.

      HB mods/admins have always been more interested in making the site their personal bonsai-tree project over anything else really.
