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 part of the comment to post skew is that the megathread culture redirects posts into megathread comments
I agree but it's not like the megathread owns the URLs that are in the comments. The megathread people are set in their ways because they wish hexbear was a discord server.
If you see a comment in the megathread that you think is interesting enough to be a post, then you can make the link into a post (if it hasn't been posted).
I see more and more people in the news mega making separate posts for big news items at least which is good. They usually still don't get as good discussion for some reason, unless it's a really big news story.
