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!

there’s a whole spiritual framework which I do not know about that makes it ok in the way that religion is ok

If the problem is the historical baggage and the irrationality of the belief, then organised religion is a billion times more guilty than astrology could ever be, and you frankly need to address that. People marched to do genocide under the sign of the cross, cultures were destroyed in the name of the Lord, God, whatever name he has been called, has been invoked to justify every possible crime, every possible prejudice, every possible irrationality, and you deliberately ignore that while condemning being a bit silly.
