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!

I see a lot of users with like 1000 comments and close to 0 posts. Users are obligated to post the things that they want to see posted. If you (the girl reading this) are expecting something to be posted, then be the user to post it.
It's not hard to make 1 post a day. It takes like 10 minutes.
Maybe you saw a really funny meme. Maybe you saw an important news article. Maybe you read an interesting blog post. Maybe you have a special interest. Search to see if it has been posted today. If it has not been posted, then post it.

Avoid posting everything into the slop comm. With the rapid decline of Western Society, there seems to be a tendency to post everything into the slop comm. I believe that the slop comm should be focused on the bottom of the barrel to prevent it from being a catch-all comm. Slop should be a thing that would get you kicked out of a public space. Imagine you are in a coffee shop and making small talk with the barista. If you explained your post to the barista would you get kicked out of the coffee shop? If you said "I saw our president post some ai generated image where he was jesus. I couldn't believe it", you would not get kicked out of the coffee shop. If you told the barista "there's a world of warcraft player who doesn't shower and he wants to kill all immigrants", you might be asked to leave the coffee shop.Chapo Trap House is a left wing political comedy podcast. It would make sense for posts that are funny and politics-related were in the chapotraphouse comm. Trump posting an image of himself as jesus, is something that they would talk about on Chapo Trap House.
Don't post screenshots of headlines without including the link to the article. The article headline and the article are written by 2 different people and many times the article headline can be inaccurate or not contain enough information. Don't repost screenshots that someone else made. Link to articles.
Make posts that you think are interesting. Make the title of the post contain key details about the post, sometimes articles bury the lede. Include keywords in the title or post body, so that your post is searchable. Don't be afraid to comment on your own post to share your opinion about the post or include additional information. If somebody comments on your post to say that your post isn't interesting, ignore them, they're being a jerk.
I think part of the comment to post skew is that the megathread culture redirects posts into megathread comments
I agree but it's not like the megathread owns the URLs that are in the comments. The megathread people are set in their ways because they wish hexbear was a discord server.
If you see a comment in the megathread that you think is interesting enough to be a post, then you can make the link into a post (if it hasn't been posted).
I only post when inebriated, everything else is comments on the toilet
Thank you
