I know it was originally a spin off of the chapotraphouse subreddit but I don’t know much else. Is it it still affiliated with the podcast? How has it grown etc? Why was the subreddit closed etc.
Give me the lore, baby
The Volcels needed a vanguard.
When the subreddit was quarantined, a couple diaspora communities were started in anticipation of a ban. One being the discord server, the other was this lemmy instance crafted up.
There’s basically no affiliation aside from the origin story of coming from a sub named for the podcast.
The sub was closed over “violent threats”, basically the members would not stop saying that john brown was right to kill slave owners and that slave owners should be killed. Many think that the sub was banned mostly to keep things equal when the_donald was banned. I think it was a combination of fash reddit admins taking offense to violence against slave owners, and using the_donald banning as an opportunity to say “look we hate all extremism”.
Edit: lmao how did i get it so wrong, I’ve been here since the first days and I’ve totally forgotten the details of how it went down, and I was fuckin addicted to refreshing /r/cth.
Negative affiliation IIRC, one of the guys wasn’t happy that the sub had almost nothing to do with the podcast and that they kept getting emails from chuds asking to be unbanned.
The admins were also acting like “slaveowners” was a euphemism for rich people in general, in order to make their whining sound more acceptable
Any one have a copy of the “my dad works at reddit” post that predicted us getting bothsided by reddit a day later ?
That’s our lore.
Hex was conceived in a Paris brothel, fathered by a liberal priest and a notorious whoremonger from Brussel. As far as we know, there was no mother involved. From the beginning life was disturbing for young Hex, certainly it was no Paddington “bell vita”. At the age of 18 (months) Hex was placed into foster care by the French Aide sociale à l’enfance (ASE), which operates within a strong framework on a territorial basis, with priorities and protocols being decided in each of France’s 101 départements. Unknown to most, the agency is source of a notorious human trafficking network, and so it was that young Hex found themselves living rough, on the mean streets of René-Goupal, a notorious quarter of Montreal, or as the Chicagoans pronounce it, Moan-real… (TBC, should sufficient interest manifest itself…)

I was there when he linked his 9/11 video in one of the early Ukraine megas. He said that someone told him it would be a good idea to post it here, but the site wasn’t what he expected. Weird shit.
Edit: Oh also, remember that AMA on the subreddit with a journalist who predicted that Epstein would be murdered in jail just a few days before it happened? That was pretty funny
