Missing those days of the old subreddit when I was just getting engaged in lefty politics. That sub was so uplifting. So many detailed analyses that I wish I saved. So many hilarious posts that always filled me with joy. Before I found the old sub I thought leftists were humorless assholes but r/cth really brought me along and cemented myself as a leftist.
I can’t exactly pin what’s different here but the whole vibe is off. I really wish it could capture the spirit of the old place but I’m not so sure. I know I’m not the most prolific poster but I’ve given this place 6-7 months and I’m not certain whether I want to continue or not. I’ll admit, I got caught up in the GME hype. Maybe because I seriously thought my life would materially improve at least slightly. I’m done with that stocks shit for right now. The split that happened on the site as a result of it was pretty bad. I really hope we can all do better, especially at lashing out at each other.
If you’re from the old sub who’s been along for the ride I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My life is much richer thanks to you all of you.
It’s because half the site is scold posts and the other half is the same few jokes repeated over and over again
Shit sucks
The scold posting here is fucking out of control. That’s the main difference between this place and the main sub. We didn’t have 40 threads every day mocking people for eating things differently.
It’s because this site has the most on-edge admins possible for a board with like 300 posters.
Any infringement gets a ban here, when the users just used to bully the shitty people off the sub on cth.
The scoldposts are all you get left when they foster a culture like that.
our admins are absolute angels compared to the moderators of any given leftbook group, and i would lay down my life for them
You see the bias in being self-selected as one of the few remaining users here, then saying you love the moderation style?
Tell me I’m wrong that the administration here kicks off a lot of active users over petty grievances.
If you wanna hang out on reddit, hang out on reddit. This isn’t reddit. It’s something different. It’s trying to be a welcoming place on the internet. That means banning a LOT of assholes.
I’m not sure about what you’ve been seeing, but I’ve seen a LOT of comrades getting banned in threads for nothing. I’ll stumble across multiple banned flaired accounts every day and read through what they post, not understanding why they’ve been kicked off the site.
You’re literally a moderator here, which would make sense as to why you 're caping for the moderators, but to call this site welcoming is a bit misleading considering the militant style of ‘welcoming’ to a very select few within the left we do.
but when will you be post posting post posts? i posit that youll have gone postal by then. ill see myself out.
I like it, it’s small. I know everyone. I can share things I like and get into good discussions about them without being called a dirty commie or harassed. I can’t even go on Reddit anymore, just makes me to upset. Here is perfect.
