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!

Especially when they table out on streets. Then they really look like the stereotypical late 19th and early 20th century newspaper saleskids shouting out headlines to try to get people to buy a newspaper.

Or they end up looking like the commie version of a street preacher, and making all communists look as irrational as the street corner doomsday preachers.
