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!

first knew about lemmygrad in 2022 when r/genzedong got quarantined, lurked forawhile checking that site every so often, found out about HB when second thought did an AMA here in late 2022, finally made an account on grad and hexbear early in 2023 a month or 2 before the big reddit API migration
fun fact, lemmy used to use websockets so it was like a weird mix of traditional forum software and a messenger in that you would see new comments and votes coming in even without refreshing the page, notifications too actually, i remember being drunk while using grad/hexbear and getting jumpscared because someone would send me a huge response to some huge paragraph i had typed earlier and the notification would pop up and take over like half my screen lol
