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!

Like I don't really use any other social media, but sometimes (like this past week) I venture outside of my hexbear bubble and I browse twitter, or reddit, or instagram, or tiktok, and holy shit I just browse those websites for a minute or two and feel worse about myself, worse about the world, it honestly seems like everyone on those sites is completely insufferable and every post is designed in some CIA laboratory to make me irrationally angry. Like look, sometimes we can all get annoyed at each other here, and I am no exception to that, and nowhere is perfect, but wow this place is 1000% better than like the majority of the internet, I honestly don't know how people go through life at this point browsing the regular internet.

I went on reddit-logo recently and it's just awful. I deleted my account so now I just get the common frontpage and it's just full of stale memes and "DAE le DRUMPF EVERYBODY???" All their political discourse is just

CW: Bigotry
"Orange man ugly and fat and gay and fat and ugly and his wife is ugly and he is cheating on her with an ugly woman and he's fat and gay and also he looks like a lady hahahaha we're the rational left, both sides are bad! Communism on paper vuvuzela 100 billion facism Trump ugly gay Harris funny and cool and good don't you understand we have to be rational when we commit genocide and trump is stupid and ugly and fat?"

Could have given me an aneurism
