I'm sure I can find the answers to these questions in google individually, but other people in the fediverse might benefit from having these questions answered as well.

Why is Trump a "Wet Boy"?

Why is a defecating pig a "PBB"?

Why do you, a chapotraphouse discussion forum, only discuss something called "citations needed" instead of the chapo podcast?

How is El Chapo's trap house in any way related to leftism?

Why are your emojis so big?

What's the limit for your big tent left? Maoists? Trotskyites? Demsocs? Socdems? TERF socialists? Progressive Democrats? Monarchist socialists?

To widen the topic of the post, feel free to post any other questions regarding Hexbear as well.

By the time the subreddit was banned, it had already outgrown the podcast and become a general watering hole for leftist shitposting on Reddit. A lot of the cultural references and bits survived. The relationship between the subreddit and the podcast was always tenuous. They shittalked the subreddit a lot, the subreddit shittalked them a lot, but there was never really a split on ideological grounds.
