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!

Good-faith, nuanced discussion is only possible within cohorts of like-minded people. While echo-chambers often are annoying insofar as the common talking points become trivial to the already initiated, it is this exact initiation process and fomenting of the "party-lines" that allow for people to find others to engage in nuanced discussions finally becoming confident that the conversation is not being conducted in an adversarial manner.
