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!

Many comrades were scattered to the winds that probably weren't online enough to know where we went. Everything happened so quickly, if you were logged off for just 3 days you could have missed the lifeboat discord and the subreddit's banning, along with most of the possible discussion of alternatives.
It's honestly a bit surprising that so many made it across in the first place.
Talk about Hexbear more, there's literally no reason not to and every time you do more people find it. Wreckers will pop up when you mention it trying to spread shit to stop people coming over but they're extremely easy to ignore. We built up a culture of silence about the place due to the performance problems the site was having - there is no reason to have that anymore, we should be promoting again.
I hated the discord era but it did help keep a good chunk of us in touch.
Sad so many of us got scattered. At least we get to celebrate when one of them make it back.
The return of the Diaspora Hexbears
Yeah, I missed the actual final day or two. Found out about the discord due to some comrade DMing me, went there, hated it because I'm old and not online enough for Discord, but eventually heard about this place there.mlurked and joined about 3 years ago. Shoutout to that comrade who DM'd me. I'd have hated to have had to spend the last few years embroiled in the great scratched-liberalisation of Reddit.
I hated discord so much I cried in the slow channel enough that our nerds added me to the beta site asap to shut me up.
Discord: bad for the slow reactioned normals, bad for socialism.
I only found this place because some weirdo CHUD mentioned chapo.chat in a response to Will Menaker on Twitter, completely unrelated to anything he was talking about
thank you for your service dipshit CHUD redditor
Exactly. Just mention the place, even in weird out of context ways. If each one drags in one person and then we build a culture of those people also doing this we can rather significantly spread Hexbear.
Is the lifeboat discord still around?
It is, though theresome tension between here and there
The infighting is the leftist love language 🥰
