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.
