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!
Some of the very worst of the worst liberal takes, apologia for fascist shit, and of course cryptobro grifts and even Tesla worship keep coming from there. It's fucked.
I don't want to say all programmers or tech workers are like that, but I don't like what I've seen so far from people with a .programming suffix on their names. 
I did no such labeling myself, not in this thread.
I'm talking about the ".programming" federated community and its many posters, that use that place's suffix when they go elsewhere and post reactionary, even cryptofascist takes.
I think the thing is that it's not just programmers, it's terminally online programmers. Most people that are programmers are not terminally online, they touch computer to make money. Basically they tend to be more like zuck than Elon. But then the ones online are like Elon, and that's who you see.
