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!

If other users are anything like me they may feel like they have reached the limits of online posting, I think about leaving here but I wouldn't go to another forum I would just start posting IRL
I feel like also a leftist alternative didn't exist online before, so this space satisfied that. Nowadays leftism has become more mainstream and there's big pages on mainstream social media platforms that engage with it.
I still appreciate Hexbear's ML roots, it really cuts a lot of shit out, would hate to see it fully disappear.
I also just think the core user base (myself included) just grew up. I'm now a person with so many responsibilities and aims in life that I don't have time to post anymore.
There's plenty of hobbies I love to discuss that I have, that I still go to Reddit for because it's got more activity. I don't need a leftist perspective on Marvel Rivals, I guess.
