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!

It's been massively blown out of proportion, people here don't know how to deescalate and talk things through.
More than anything, what hurts this site are the struggle sessions themselves, not whatever sparks them. People leave to get away from the screaming matches. People need to slow down and talk to each other like human beings instead of snowballing into massive fights over ultimately inconsequential issues.
Everyone who escalated the struggle session deserves some share of the blame for chilling the atmosphere of the site. Putting all the blame on the moderators and not introspecting is a great way to learn nothing and guarantee another massive struggle session over some equally inconsequential issue in the future.
The strength of a reactionary is in their domination of other people.
The strength of a socialist is in their cohesion with other people.
