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!

There are a bunch of sicko neoliberals and insufferable redditors there, yes, but there are also some normal libs and a few comrades, and it seems like a good way to encourage lemmy generally to re-embrace leftism.

I've been using an alt to talk on there and it's honestly not that bad. It's a little bad, but not that bad. I think if we just try to patiently explain ourselves, we have a reasonable chance of reaching people and shifting the general political alignment.

Those of us who aren't up to dealing with ghouls (I am frequently included in this group) can just stay at home here and that's just fine.

Anyway, just an idea. I would appreciate feedback.

4chan is honestly easier because there's no upvotes/likes, so instead you get lots of (you)s/replies. And more replies means more people will look at whatever it is got so many replies, creating more replies. Like you can say something mildly left leaning and completely derail a reactionary discussion.

Like they'll be talking about how to kill single mothers or something and you drop a "Well I liked my mom she helped instill feminist values in me and I think it's the white male patriarchy that causes more issues," they will shift into soy nonsense and emasculation. So you've gotten them to stop plotting how to kill moms and now they're talking about where to buy testosterone supplements.

I forgot where I was going with this....probably something about how 4chan is a waste of time, which some how r*dditors still manage to be worse. Oh and you have to expose yourself to vile brainworms and slurs.
