The chapo sub hated the podcast and the podcast hated them. It was kind of funny.
But it was one of the best leftist sibs on reddit (low bar). It was completely immune from right wing brigades and trolls because any time they came in trying to stir up shit people would just all post "show hog" and they'd get mad that no one was taking the bait.
It being banned was sad but also not that sad. Reddit sucks and km barely on there anymore except to argue with people that homeless people are human beings and not vermin. I don't know why I bother anymore.

You could have actual substantive discussion on /r/chapo which was good. The combination of being relatively lax and not trying to establish orthodoxy and not giving trolls and bad faith right wingers anything they wanted broadly worked. It avoided fiascos like /r/antiwork and socialist cat girls.
I'm only on niche hobbyist, academic and bdsm subreddits, of which the latter kinda suck - there's a lot of easy moralism there. Small enough groups and you can drift to your favorites over time. The wider culture is either mundane or bad.
