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!

Voice messages aren’t really a fad are they? They’ve been around forever

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (2 children)

they definitely are very recent and coincide with the replacement of text messages with rich messaging apps like whatsapp/signal/imessage, hence their use by zoomers as you say

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They’ve been around since the early 2010s they’re not recent

I didn't know they were even taking off with the younger crowd in the US.

But they've been pretty popular outside the US pretty much the entire time.

I can't stand them.

Pretty common in rural Guatemala because so many people are illiterate

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

That's fair, if someone's illiterate then they get a pass.

Does it feel weird to write so authoritatively despite being objectively wrong?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ok, do you want me to just tell you that what you wrote is stupid and wrong?
