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!

With landlords, for instance, my understanding is he basically put their fate in the hands of their local communities. That famously resulted in revolutionary land redistribution, but punishments beyond that varied based on local conditions, with plenty of landlords losing little beyond their lands and authority.
