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!

Back in my teens I was a self professed tankie (I'm closer to an anarchocommunist nowadays but I still get called a tankie a lot by clueless libs), saw people on Reddit complaining that r/chapotraphouse was fulla tankies, got excited about finding a forum for people with similar political views, looked inside, it was mostly Bernie Sanders stans or whatever. Still, I hung around 'cos it was the least cringe part of Reddit. Saw those libs get radicalised in real time.
My account got nuked for some reason around the time the subreddit was.
Around the time the Chapochat launched I saw a Reddit post warning libs that the spectre of chapo still haunted the internet, so I went to have a look-see.
