The “gets smeared in the media” thing shouldn’t matter. If this site were to get big enough, it would get smeared too.
The hitpieces targetted at the podcasts smeared them partly by associating them with the subreddit. Guess what, to most media people and consumers being a little problematic is far more palpable than being a Maoist or supporting a violent overthrow of the status quo. It’s just so funny to think that if the site got big it would have any positive media coverage.
I’ll eat my hat if the population of this website doesn’t decline steadily
I think it will stay the same. This site was never going to grow, it’s too easy to get banned. There is a very small range of acceptable discourse before a ban for reactionary thoughts comes out. No newbie is going to come in already having what this site considers acceptable views, and they won’t conform to the sites culture, they will leave.
I’m fine with it, peeps with niche views need their spaces. But those here who think they are part of some “lib to left pipeline” are fooling themselves. This website has never been that.
Isn’t changing the name capitulating already? Oh if only this site would give anyone a reason to smear it, that would at least be progress
