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!

Make no mistake. We got banned because we refused to clutch our pearls and supported the George Floyd uprising uncritically, at a moment of acute crisis when the state was scared shitless by the manifold crises of Covid-19, the shambolic nomination of Joe Biden, and the malaise of a declining empire in general (in addition to simultaneous urban uprisings in all 50 states). The subreddit was a minor casualty of a broad domestic counterinsurgency campaign. Reddit banned individual users for John Brown posting, but that was just pretextual for saying "we also violated the rules" and throwing us in the same bucket as r/TheDonald in their autoerotic announcement.
Yes of course. CTH was a thorn in the admins’ side for a while. We were growing at a rapid pace and radicalizing normies and the advertisers/cia handlers couldn’t have that. And our supposed replacements (antiwork, deprogram etc) have been unable to carry that work forward due to various reasons. Breadtube is now a grave. They threw the libs a crumb by ridding the trump sub along with us and they were satisfied.
GOOD post
