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 got curious about how bad Hexbear was according to sh.itjust.works and told myself "i should document it and make a post about it if it's really that bad"

When chapo was delet I bounced between the lifeboat discord and the actual chapo discord (they bullied Will lol) until I heard they were looking for beta testers for the new site. volunteered, mostly shitposted but found like maybe one-two bugs to make the forum experience less annoying for users, then forgot about the site for a hot minute and missed joining on the official launch day by like a day or two.

Been here ever since duck-dance

Whatever happened to the lifeboat discord? I remember early days a number of people there didn’t wanna move over here.

Last I heard it kinda splintered into its own thing from some drama with some of the site admins (people who probably aren't even here these days) and eventually just kinda became its own community. But this is like years old news, idk if it still exists.

no idea, i haven't been on since we jumped over. I poked my head into the actual chapo discord and it seems almost the same as it has been, being just chill as fuck and people doing their thing.
