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!

My first time experience here had been very politically charged and I asked about it in askLemmy and I was told to immediately block you people in the options I was given

I had the opportunity to browse around and found out that you folk were decent and weren't as awful as told in that post I made

How do you view .world and by extension other instances that defederate (and view negatively) towards you?

Asking for evidence of Uyghur human right abuses from 2021 onwards will get you banned from most communities for "genocide denial", saying that "Israel has a right to defend itself" is frowned upon and downvoted but accepted discourse. According to them, Putin is "le evil RuZZian war criminal" [fair enough, he's oppressing women and minorities within Russia], whereas Biden is just a poor old guy who tried his best to stop a genocide in Palestine but the US position in the middle east is nuanced.

Basically they only move within the allowable western (mostly USian) Overton Window, and thus their flavour of "leftism" (most are self-declared leftists or liberals) leads them to parroting most US state department propaganda, especially when it comes to non-western countries because of racism
