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!

In the process of dechudifying and delibifying what I see online, this was a crucial step. A black non-binary transfem can only take so much.

I used to use Unsocial Media like Instagram to find trans+queer creators that I really liked but I had to stop because they kept getting shadowbanned off the platform. Once a queer person gets any sort of traction they face so much shit.

Any post that discusses queer people, especially trans and/or non-binary people, got me having to repeat "don't read the comments" to myself excessively. Even posts by queer-friendly accounts would attract a lot of bigoted assholes.
