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

Can anyone give me a quick non-biased rundown on the 'vegan struggle session'?

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...)

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.
