    Not banned for breaking any rules. Just for ‘serving the same purpose’ as a banned subreddit. In other words, just banned for being a leftist subreddit. Fuck that site.

        “banned due to a violation of Reddit’s content policy against creating or repurposing a sub to reconstitute or serve the same objective as a previously banned or quarantined subreddit.”

    Fucking hell, why even keep using reddit? Only good subs at this point are communism, communism101 and sino. Can’t be long until they are banned too.

      I’m concerned about Sino falling, that would be a real blow.

      There’re some other good ones as well, such as r/AmericasSocialists, r/BeardTube, r/GenZedong, r/InformedTankie, and r/SendInTheTanks.

        If they ban us they better ban r/Neoliberal as well. They break the rules way more than almost any other sub I’ve ever seen. Hell if they ban all communist subs they better just ban all politics.

        True, but those are all really small and not that active.

          For me it was memes, communist memes made me look into communism and realise my view on communism was from propaganda.

          Also casually sharing communist memes with my friend has pushed them further left into nearly being a communist (they will probably become a communist in the near future)

    It was inevitable. Stop making subs with chapo in the name or don’t be surprised when they get banned. They will always ban them. I’m still not convinced as many are here that reddit is determined to purge all communists from it. They still haven’t hit /r/socialism or /r/communism or the 101 subs. I think they are trying to drive a lot of CTH users off the site but I don’t think they’ll keep going forever. We need to wait a month or two and make something that doesn’t have chapo in the name, doesn’t mention it and doesn’t have the exact same themes. With luck because technically Chapotraphouse was a podcast sub for a specific podcast we can make a general reddit sub for the left again in future. We just need to wait for them to turn down their systems for detecting evasion.

    And FYI the rule for remaking or repurposing an existing sub to serve the same purpose as a banned one (ban evasion) was created while they were fighting off I think the million dollar extreme fascists who had at least two dozen ban evasion subs they kept cycling through so it wasn’t made to target the left necessarily.

      Yeah it makes sense as a rule, but in this case it was weaponized in a way that was contrary to its intended purpose. Rather than fighting ban evasion, it was used to destroy a subreddit that was a branch of a branch of a community that had only been banned after the divergence.

      I think you’re definitely right about dropping the ‘chapo’ name, though.

    Well here I am now, fuck Reddit I guess I needed to leave anyway. The various Chapos and News were the only subs I really used anyway.

    People have been talking about it on r/genzedong and two subs created in that thread were banned just hours later.

    !! Don’t create a new communist subreddit yet !!

    Wait for things to die down. One of those new subs was encoded in base64 and translated to r/annoyingorangefandom, and the admins still got it. They’re watching us themselves, this is not an automated tool, they’re monitoring us with their own eyes.
