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 decided to take a break from my local organization due to mental health and personal reasons. Some people didn't understand and got upset, partly because I didn't explain well enough about why I was . I was one of the main graphic designers, which added to the tension. Living in a village made it hard to do praxis in the city, especially after my branch collapsed from inactivity. I also felt the org's direction was too patsoc, "larpy" and not "normal" by TrueAnon standards If that makes sense. Even though It did some good stuff.

I admit I suggested some overly ambitious ideas and I'm not planning to be part of anything until I take care of myself. I feel guilty because the advice I often hear is to "join an org and organize," and I feel like I’ve betrayed that idea. Still, I did meet some great people and I’m gonna stay in touch with some folk.

No reason to be sad to leave it sounds like y'all made an impact and if even if you don't want to do it anymore you met some like minded people that may be open to join a future org.
