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!

Lately I've been seeing many more people reading books in public.

Yesterday, 5 books on one bus.

Newspapers and magazines stay losing. Zero zero.

EBook readers occasional.

Is it some performative fad?

I don't think it's like the old internet. It's just a good part of the new internet. There was never anyplace like this before.

That's true. There's parts of it that remind me a lot of old forums I used to be a part of, but there's a lot of new stuff that didn't exist back then as well.
