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.

Sucks to find out someone is a bigot when you thought they were ok (hexbear.net)

Protesilaos aka "Prot" is a well-known member of the Emacs community, being the author of several popular packages. I unfortunately just learned about an anti-feminist rant he posted to his website 5 days ago (Sep 5). I don't want to link it, but it is easily found if you desire.

His philosophy just sucks, he's not as smart as he thinks he is, he's stuck arguing with himself over his own abstractions

In short, he equates feminism with individualism in order to "prove" that feminism and socialism don't mix (and he doesn't like socialism anyway)

shut the fuck up Prot

Happened to me with someone who was a friend of mine for years, I thought they were cool but then something happened when we were hanging out & suddenly I was seeing this whole side of them that I'd never seen before (being strongly pro cop). Like I don't hide my views, people who know me know what I'm about so it was pretty shocking to see them expressing that kind of shit & being surprised when I pushed back.

It fucking sucks to find out someone who you thought was cool is anything but
