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!

I would depict it as a place where there are a moderately small amount of good, fine, people; is a large amount of insufferable, smug assholes, masquerading as the first group I mentioned, then all the rest of the website is insane right wing freaks. There are ads everywhere, the sites culture is heavily poisoned with liberal “civility” culture, left wing voices are often shadow banned, censored, and otherwise suppressed. The farthest “left” you can really be is a most moderate fascist (social democrat). Many larger subs are very clearly astroturfed by the three letter organizations, with some posts even being sent from the addresses of these organization's hqs, Ive seen one of these posts. It was a post which was blatantly lying about the writing on the entranceway of a mosque in the PRC, they claimed that it was in praise of the current leader of the CPC, Xi Jinping, this was untrue, the writing was actually about praising the community and workers that helped build the mosque. That is just one of many innumerable examples of three letter agencies using reddit as a front to proliferate their imperialist propaganda.
