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!

I think that when people (hopefully all of us on this website) work to eliminate ableist language from their vocabulary, they end up with many fewer words to describe certain patterns/behaviors negatively.

Put your favorite non-ableist insult/descriptor in the comments!

don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally explained by malice.

politicians/journalists don't get benefit of the doubt, they are evil people pursuing evil aims of their empire.

but i use unwise/distracting/inconsiderate in case i can't imagine other explanation

(also when i inquired similarly i got shitbird/muppet/dipshit, which don't pertain to the state of mental faculties, but feel nice to say)
