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!

What you call “flying under the radar” is just effective communication and meeting people where they’re at. I try not to use jargon that my conversation partners haven’t already shown familiarity with, especially when discussing social and economic issues. Even if they’re open to what you’re saying, explaining definitions or correcting misconceptions about trigger words derails the flow of the conversation and can cause them to lose interest. Of course, anytime anyone asks me how I identify politically, I just tell them I’m a socialist so I don’t actually know anything about flying under the radar, sorry 💚
