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!

Edit: ClimateChangeAnxiety send me a private message to say I had things the wrong interpretation of things. They simply recycled their account for opsec reasons. They also said they appreciated everyone's comments!

old postThis comrade and long-time Hexbear recently permanently deleted their account. I normally wouldn't make this any of my business, except in this instance I have reason to believe that they may have done so because they felt like they were being mocked or shamed by other members of our community over a popular post they made years ago on a controversial topic.

If you're reading this, comrade, know this: You have nothing to be ashamed of; we valued you in our community—and FWIW I agreed with your post! I know others did too.

I don't even think the comrade who linked to your post was trying to mock you; they seemed kind of agnostic on the topic. I think they were simply dropping relevant site lore in an honest attempt to inform the derisively incredulous, without realizing how that might be perceived by (in?) such a close-knit community.

It is the nature of topics like this that they (frequently) appear unhinged to the uninformed. Remember that that's their problem.

That's what I was referring to, but it turns out it wasn't about that at all (see edit).

glad to know we'll still see them around!
