I think most r/CTH users originally came from Twitter and they made a reddit account specifically for that subreddit. The culture of the subreddit was so different than the rest of reddit and it was evident this was older Something Awful types or enlightened 4chaners who had seen the error of their ways. There was blatant contempt for the “Reddiquette” and frequent brigades, and in general just contempt for all of the rest of Reddit.

That’s why they quickly became the new SJW, the new SRS of the site. The gamers and gooners and nu atheists and software engineers and funkopop collectors and the_donald users and the r/politics users all were able to unite against a common scapegoat, and the feeling was mutual. There was always the feeling a ban was inevitable, and the mods of the subreddit had to keep being recycled being they were being pressured hard by the admins to delete tons of stuff, and they didn’t want to and kept getting ousted. Then the next group would come in and pretend to for a bit then stop lmao.

even this thread has more comments than the original one linked. we just wanted it more

edit: wait needs a couple more… hold on

edit 2: mission accomplished

And then… and then… THEY SENT ME A PIG POOPING ON ITS BALLS

incoherent sobbing

An infusion of Chinese shitposters would definitely be a nice boost to our posting powers

I heard the SeventyTwoTrillion takes people with rational Liberal common sense to a stadium full of tankies and shoots them with an anti-aircraft gun

Our posters are more than 10 times as powerful as theirs

I think ML are radical centrists who just want all teams to have fun and are ideologically opposed to censorship and defederation. The other instances are libs who start banning and blocking as soon as they hear something about communism that they don’t understand

Yeah if you are a lemmy.world user you are probably still spending most your time on Reddit. Very normie tastes and Reddit has better cat gifs

The 3 arrows is

Anarcho-liberalism

They genuinely think they are being “grateful” and “humble” for their privileged life by bragging about shit like this.

Also you are talking to ex pats and emigrants who are predisposed to disliking their home country.

All the Chinese people who really like China stay there and don’t go on the English speaking internet to argue

Except the color revolutions destroying the USSR, those were wholesome and pure

Julian Assange is a bootlicker and Kremlin stooge who sold us out to the American and Russian billionaires. The Mueller Report proved he was explicitly trying to get Treason Trump elected and working with Putin to push disinformation to that end.

Now who’s bringing up politics everywhere? Guess it’s ok when it’s MSNBC slop

We are powerful

I’m comfortable so I no longer need to care

You won’t be comfortable for long motherfucker, one way or the other

Same happened after CTH got banned. Tons of lies and myths instantly started cropping up about the devilish things that were once posted on CTH but could no longer be accessed. Everyone who hated Chapo was free to just make shit up and everyone believed it

CTH is famously an elder millennial fanbase too. Average Chapo fan age is certainly higher than the average Reddit user age

We are all just “trolls”

Like they think we are over here just pretending to be communists or what? Do they think we don’t hold the positions we talk about?

It isn’t big though. They just get kicked out of everywhere else they go for being disruptive assholes, so for every community there’s a hexbear duplicate

Duplicate with half the posts and a third of comments.

All of which are super politically charged

I like their indignity about politics being brought up ever, using that as an insult and mic drop like it wins the argument instantly. Such lib coworker ass energy.

They are bots and cheaters

no they are just a large instance

nut uh it’s all just politics

???
