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!

Came here from the subreddit 
I was born into it. Molded by it.
i'm politically adjacent to your community and you guys never shut up
i type this with love
I have been a podcast oldhead for awhile, and I heard from a DSA buddy that the Bernie crowd had this hot new podcast from some of the boys that had done the satirical Beltway podcast, which had a funny bit of the guy firing his intern after he changed his pfp to a Christmas avi and not being able to figure out how to change it back.
From there the Chapo Boys complained about the subreddit being cringe, so I checked it out and realized that these idiots were actually treating reddit like a real old school forum, with dog piling, strategic posting, and applying twitter posting rules to just blast the absolute shit out of some of the most annoying people on the internet. From there I realized that the people who really got the anti-imperialist side were being relegated to r/moretankiechapo, but it rapidly started to leak into the main subreddit. It was a lot of fun pissing on know-it-alls.
After the first quarantine, I started looking for alternatives in the event that the sub got banned, which seemed inevitable as the fuckers would accuse us of 'raiding' when all we would do is mass ping assholes and it was their choice to come to our subreddit and think they could duke it out with literally the most prolific posters on the site.
I found the original discord, chapo2's discord, and here. Discord fucking sucks for this kind of stuff, and having its own infrastructure appealed to the tankie in me, so I inevitably came here and settled in once the ban became permanent.
There was one day about half a year into the lockdowns when I thought "I miss posting on r/cth, it's been several months since that was a thing", and then I realized "they did make a backup discord when they got quarantined, I should see what happened there". Fast track to choppo tshat.
