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 this is some boomer tier shit I'm on right now, but im not gonna download snap or discord just to keep chatting, if you're wanting to talk to me somewhere other than an app I'll just give you my number.

I get WHY people would prefer it, keeping a little bit of their info private, but im still not downloading snapchat.

Also this is in the context of ENM/poly stuff

Its because you cant screenshot things without the other person being notified and everyone posts their lives on there and its primarily young people. So the illusion of exclusivity/privacy + makes you feel young + parasocial relationships + micro content + pedos + drug dealers (who are dumb as fuck)

If they actually care about privacy, upgrade to signal. Owned by the CIA and all, but you’ll still be more secure than using Snapchat or any of the other disappearing message apps

Anyone with the tiniest bit of technical know how can probably defeat this.
