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 still see blue checks in Twitter that need to reply with "*you're" kinda bullshit. I do reread some of my posts and I see them littered with mobile edits or just bullshit language that only made sense to my brain at 2am. Thanks everybody for being chill about language. I still (wrongly) imagine that I'm very good with writing, and seeing my own writing some time after it's been published is a nice kick of humility.

i am a strong believer that if intent and meaning is able to be interpreted from what you write, then structure and delivery or grammar isn't as important. I know a lot of grammer/english nerds will scoff at this but I don't give a shit. My favorite shit is those crazy ramblings or scribbled ideas that are only marginally connected to each other. Like the kind of unstructured ideas jotted down in a notebook with little to no structure. Love that shit.
