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 made a post asking what the key differences between Hexbear and Lemmygrad were, a question I already asked in the Matrix chat, and everyone there gave rude responses and acted as though I was trolling when I was just honestly curious as I never took the time to really engage with Hexbear before. It almost made me cry.

I have problems with my internet use. Every hour, sometimes half-hour, I check back into Hexbear. I suffer from severe OCD in combination with other mental illnesses; I can't help it. I just want somewhere to be welcome without being treated like a rapine beast for a past which I can't alter.

I am not here to cause drama or troll. I have deliberately avoided political arguments to avoid harming the community's flow. Yes, I have done foolish things in the past when I was 15, but have not we all?

I came here under the pseudonym I am most commonly remembered by as a peace gesture to a community which I have disrespected to indicate that I would not hide who I am and I was being honest for once, and I hope people would respect me too.

Is this too much to ask?

I was wondering what was going on with "Oh, that one user everyone involved in prolewiki complains about" or whichever one it was (I don't remember the specific complaints people had and don't care). I actually got accused of being you on an alt once! Maybe twice, but the second time was a joke. I felt like it would be rude to ask because you have indeed been very nice here.

I'm sorry that people were mean to you, the userbase has a serious problem with pretending that antisocial behavior is Good, Actually. There was a period where it came up frequently in arguments but not as much for me recently. I think this is more evidence that "Bullying Works" is just detrimental as a mindset.
