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!

One day this site will know me by my effortpost comments which follow the exact same pattern:

  • Hyperspecific information about random topics

  • Is extremely pedantic about wording

  • Goes on wild tangents when using examples, analogies, and irl experiences that often take up half of the comment itself

  • Is visibly restraining self in the comment from rolling off of one rant and directly into another one

  • Uses too many paragraphs

  • Fails to respond to replies at least half of the time

  • Terrible proofreading

  • Always has more to say, gestures at this often, tries to remember that people might actually have to read the comment and holds back because of character limits and attention spans

  • A love of semicolons

  • e.g., i.e., etc. all the time

  • Every third sentence comes with (bonus additional content), frequently needs to use square brackets within parentheses because the bonus content has its own bonus content

  • Often threatens to make effortposts in comments, rarely does

Strong vibes
