boring as fuck jokes, liberal cringe opinions, 9 bad takes out of 10, and more galore. Should hexbear really keep associating itself with Chapo, it really seems that hexbear has outgrown it in general.

edit: by associating i mean using things like chapotraphouse com or askchapo or chapochat. maybe we've grown beyond it, maybe its a neat part of site culture and a nod to its roots while not connected to the cringe stuff.

Yeah, I think everyone who was a fan of Chapo/Trueanon in 2016 has moved on to The Deprogram / Blowback / Democracy Now! etc.

I really doubt that this is the case. The Deprogram seems to have a much younger audience than Chapo and TA (at least if their subreddit is anything to go by and a lot of their stuff seems to be purposely geared in that direction as a sort of "baby's first socialism"), and DN is just a completely different concept altogether. Blowback seems to be popular with basically everyone, but is also a very different concept.

    I guess I meant more as in that Chapo's audience has moved further left than them, and are looking for more "serious" analysis.

    Deprogram is more internationalist (which is good) but it also tends to draw out the class reductionist (which isn't as good).
