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 decided to take a break from my local organization due to mental health and personal reasons. Some people didn't understand and got upset, partly because I didn't explain well enough about why I was . I was one of the main graphic designers, which added to the tension. Living in a village made it hard to do praxis in the city, especially after my branch collapsed from inactivity. I also felt the org's direction was too patsoc, "larpy" and not "normal" by TrueAnon standards If that makes sense. Even though It did some good stuff.

I admit I suggested some overly ambitious ideas and I'm not planning to be part of anything until I take care of myself. I feel guilty because the advice I often hear is to "join an org and organize," and I feel like I’ve betrayed that idea. Still, I did meet some great people and I’m gonna stay in touch with some folk.

Take care of yourself comrade, you can always join back once it is easier for you to do so. Maybe you can also contribute in minor ways here and there when you find time without being an official member?

Thanks comrade. Probably yeah. I actually did that before I became an official member.

I find it wild that people take life advice from Brace, especially "be normal" when he himself is an attention-seeking cartoon character and also "being normal" in a sick society is not the way anyone should be.

Yeah lol as long as your org doesn't have a sex pest or fed problem, who cares about being "normal"? The tailism/patsoc crap is 100x worse.

No reason to be sad to leave it sounds like y'all made an impact and if even if you don't want to do it anymore you met some like minded people that may be open to join a future org.
