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 think people are pretty combative here, viciously so sometimes.

Not sure if I just somehow miss those threads but I rarely get people trying to pick fights with me here, whereas when I was on Reddit long ago almost every discussion was a fight. I guess I also don’t often get riled up about much here myself, though it does happen occasionally. This site really is pretty pleasant, for me at least.

Maybe you're just too wholesome and nice to fight with

Bless your heart, yeah things can get bad.

I tried not to argue with people too much and when I do I try to stay productive and discussion focused by I've definitely felt the pull of the void and have had others succumb to it when talking with them. I tend to blame myself in those instances for everything but the highest level of effortposting from me being irony-poisoned though.

On most of reddit you can't say anything, no matter how innocuous, without people trying to tear you down and argue about it. You could say "People need to breathe oxygen to survive" and you would get downvoted and argued with. The only thing reddit is good for is the threads about creepy experiences and glitches in the matrix, I still read reddit for that alone.
