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!

Say it's defunct because of said contractors and they just moved you around to wherever they needed a warm body in an admin office. "I was a unit orphan, it sucked and it was a waste of my time. At least I got the GI bill".
