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!

feels like it for me. My mood is oscillating way too frequently in a way that I can in my heart tie to what I see on social media. Want to know if anyone's having a similar experience if you're a resident of the sites or if I need to go talk to my psychiatrist.

Social media algorithms are trained on addiction. If the oscillation keeps you addicted then thats how it'll work. Purpose of the system is what it does yada yada.

You would do well to move your social apps to a different folder or uninstall them for a while. it'll help you recenter yourself, at least it does for me.
