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!

The rest of the internet is bad, like real fucking bad, this place and lemmygrad and trueanon (when they're not saying shitty stuff) are like the only good normal healthy places left online. (hexbear.net)

Just putting that out there. While we might have struggle sessions over bullshit, the larger internet zeitgeist is putrid and rancid.

I love that one of Hexbear's rules is against sectarianism, but we all still solidarity against Trots

It's like when the Catholics, the Orthodox, and the Anglicans all get together and rag on Evangelical Protestants. Which is also something I really enjoyed participating in as a kid. (It's called sectarianism for a reason. We're worse than the churches sometimes.)

There's sectarianism, and then there's dunking on people the entire left agrees are just plain wrong and tend to be crank magnets.

At least for me, as a former trot, it's like 70% a joke. A lot of them are either cranks or NATO-leftists (or both) but a lot of them are also basically normal

My desk is already overflowing with zines - if you add a newspaper in there it might explode!
