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!

It must be said again: Hexbear is one of the few good spaces on the internet (hexbear.net)

Like I don't really use any other social media, but sometimes (like this past week) I venture outside of my hexbear bubble and I browse twitter, or reddit, or instagram, or tiktok, and holy shit I just browse those websites for a minute or two and feel worse about myself, worse about the world, it honestly seems like everyone on those sites is completely insufferable and every post is designed in some CIA laboratory to make me irrationally angry. Like look, sometimes we can all get annoyed at each other here, and I am no exception to that, and nowhere is perfect, but wow this place is 1000% better than like the majority of the internet, I honestly don't know how people go through life at this point browsing the regular internet.

oh yup! I forget that it is a separate space because I access it through Hexbear.

I still don't know how to browse other instances 'from' HB. Like, I can get to individual comms and still be logged in, but not the homepage? Do you just sub to all the comms and view from subscribed?

I've only ever done it one comm at a time. Sometimes I hitch a ride into a different comm with a user that has a good take.

That's kinda how the internet used to be.

That is genuinely wholesome.
