    Best thing to ever happen to us. It feels so nice being able to say that billionaires should get the gui-better without getting banned immediately for being “uncivil”.

      Honestly yeah, we were on borrowed time being on reddit anyway, chapo was only tolerated for so long. Not to mention the mods of the old sub were weird nerds that would ban people for disagreeing with them or downvoting their dumb bits. Hexbear is waaay healthier and actually feels like a community.

        ban people for disagreeing with them

        This phrase is my personal pet peeve. The mods then weren’t great but they didn’t ban people because they hated disagreements as a concept, they wouldn’t ban you if you disagreed with them on your favorite pizza toppings or about the best Star Wars trilogy.

        They banned people for the substance of their opinions just like the hexbear mods do. Hexbear mods will ban zionists not because they can’t stand anyone who disagrees with them, but because they can’t stand zionists. Let’s not pretend like hexbear welcomes opinions from the entire political spectrum. We just differ from the r/cth mods in what exact opinions we deem banworthy.

        Edit: To be clear I do not think this is a bad thing. I support the mods banning people with terrible opinions.

    It’s wild that they still allow /r/trueanon and /r/shitliberalssay. Both have the same tone of posting and most of the same posters. Chapotraphouse hit a unique nerve with reddit.

    And death to slave masters.

        I don’t think I was subscribed at the same time I was r/chapotraphouse in like 2015, but by maybe 2019 the comment section was a real proto-/c/slop. They have that same kind of metamodernist dada culture where they’re chaotic good feral dogs.

      Chapo was a much larger sub, and getting bigger all the time. It was big enough that it was the spectre haunting Reddit, so with that came enough infamy for the admins to ban it.

    “promoting hate” is apparently “I don’t think slaveowners should be alive.”

    Similar story to today where “promoting hate” is “I don’t think killing children is okay”
