Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I know it's an extra step on an already big leap you're taking, but talk to people while you're there. Make friends. Seriously, it's very easy to get into the habit of just showing up, holding signs, being loud, then going straight home when it's over. It took me 4 years of doing that to actually start conversations with other protesters and join an organization. Now I get to be part of a community and it's so much better when you're working towards goals with comrades than acting alone.
