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 can't wait for the internet to crash and burn. It started out as a niche hobby for dorks, and it's heading back that way

It's undeniable that the internet is rife with bots, astroturfing, and psyops. It's also deeply, bitterly ironic that while it's generally been capitalists that enabled/prosecute this and undermine trust in communication. Accusations of this behaviour are most frequently levelled to defend capitalism.

Liberals love to be like "unlike those other people, I am enlightened and immune to politically motivated dismissal of other views". Then do that thing just like everyone else does but in an insufferably smug way.
