There's something about learning loads of useless trivia that draws people, and TIL is really popular. Not only that, but TIL is an organic way to educate people, even on the most commonest of things. The reactionary-TIL has posts like "TIL about the tank man who resisted tanks with his bodie" and "TIL about stalins big spoon" resurfacing every few months, which serves to teach newcomers the lore of the liberal world, and the creation of its based counterpart here would teach the vibes-based ML worldview instead.

may haps i will request it... later

with maybe, being really generous here, a hundred active users

be for real there are way more than just 'a hundred active users' lmao. there were over 900 active users on the homepage in the last 24 hours.

yes, there is probably only a hundred people who are making new posts daily but there are way more users across the site than you're saying.

anyways we should be atomized - half the posts in ChapoTrapHouse are shit. The Megathread is uh, a single thread.

half the posts in ChapoTrapHouse are shit

and the solution is to make a literally identical comm and call it badposting!!

[-] abc@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

unfortunately the difference between ChapoTrapHouse and Badposting is that badposting at least is self-aware about the average post being shit or unfunny. And that's not even pointing out the fact that the other half of the ChapoTrapHouse comm's posts are usually better suited in other communities. For example, looking at it right now - there are at least two (maybe even 3 depending on what you consider news) on the front page of the comm that would be better in News or Politics; one post that should probably be in AskChapo, and another that probably belongs in Chat.

Either way, both ChapoTrapHouse and Badposting are bottom of the barrel comms to me along with TheDunkTank. dean-smile
