What the fuck is their deal?
Slowly but surely. Go in there and harass them to do it quicker.
I think they’re a bunch of libs too drunk on instant gratification to do the right thing, and come on over!
The spirit of the discord is different from a reddit like forum space, due to the nature of how posts are presented. I prefer the reddit/lemmy format, but of those who migrated from the sub to the discord, im sure some prefer discord, including the abikity for voice discussion and to have large community discussions.
Additionally there are many groups on the discord that are not yet on here, such as the internationale groups, the struggle sessions groups, the ideology groups, and the same atomization of hobby groups. If any of those are your main area of interest, you are better served on the discord while the chat is still slowly ramping up (as they should to prevent raids)
Tl;Dr the chat isn’t “done, done” yet, and people prefer the format of the discord to the current chat. A slow trickle for now is fine
I finally made my account after lurking for a few days and honestly this place is just kinda depressing. Even compared to the original sub the memes and twitter screenshots feel particularly stale. I think one of the things you can’t replace about the reddit is that sometimes you’d have fresh blood circulating in from outside the ecosystem to help keep things relatively fresh. Or maybe it’s just that you have to click on every individual meme to enlarge them on mobile.
Discorders are only the tip of the iceberg, the mods need to reach out to reddit mods of leftist subs, and tell them we relocated to chapo.chat. Remember, the discord only had a bit more than 10k, we have more than 150k when we got banned, which means the overwhelming majority of our comrades stayed on reddit.
Something to understand. At least a portion of that was just reddit liberals who agreed with some of what we said or enjoyed highly upvoted Bernie posts but who would never move to another website and resented most of our content anyways but wouldn’t see it as they just had us as another subscription on their home feed. I would bet at least half the subscriber numbers were people like that.
Admittedly we had 3-5k people online and browsing the sub at any given hour of the day and that’s pretty impressive so probably still looking at several tens of thousands of people who could be willing to be users.
