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!

This isn't a societal-level solution, but if you want to greatly reduce the amount of junk mail you get I can personally recommend this guide:

https://ecocycle.org/eco-living/refuse-and-reduce/stop-junk-mail/

It goes into detail about some individual junk mail companies later in the guide (Valpak was the one I needed) and returning to sender and whatnot, but just doing the DMAchoice opt-out and the credit/insurance offer opt-out nearly eliminated the junk mail I get. All the other stuff is for cleaning up the few stragglers that remain.
