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!

Turned out to be a troop
They WHAT. Then I wonder if they were a fraud or wrecker the whole time or something just because of how aggressive they were

Thank you, found it: https://hexbear.net/comment/5785091. I'm so used to not searching for anything because
's search function is so horrendous (or... I guess it was years ago, I haven't tried to search for anything there in a very long time because it was so bad) that it didn't even occur to me to try Lemmy's.
And wow. WOOOOOOW. I can't see frauddogg's comments because they've been deleted but those responses from FunkYankkkees (especially "CSA VICTIMS DIDN'T KILL HALF MY FUCKING FAMILY") are heartbreaking and are quite telling
whatever frauddogg was saying sounds heinous.
We should have people disclose if they've been in the AmeriKKKan armed forces in applications and if they have, make sure their views are suitably unfavorable to the armed forces. It doesn't make sense to ban people for having signed up when they were young and groomed into it, but irl the only veterans I'll do any sort of action or organizing with are the ones who come out absolutely hating the US empire and who won't make excuses for or get defensive about having been in it.
I don't want to reignite the drama, but I also was just inactive enough to be just learning about this now.
I never would have expected this turn of events because frauddogg was very militantly anti-imperialist, and a healthy dose of the hostility that null had was in many ways beneficial — for instance, in getting me to read Settlers.
As other commenters mentioned, it's a shame that now some people will use this to dismiss the overwhelmingly many correct takes that null had.
Yeah that is a shame. Frauddogg was one of my favorite posters for the incredible takes overall.
