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!

That's whats cool about this place. It's got that sense of web 1.0 comradery and weird and wonderful personalities. Shit you don't find anymore in the atomized hellscape of web 3.0

But if we don't record every post in an expensive to hash blockchain how can we have trust among one-another!?

BTW, I have a ~~picture~~ hashed URL to sell you. Act fast, because the prices are only going UP!

I dunno, I've talked about us in therapy. I just refer to us as "a little lefty site I help mod"

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (4 children)

That would have been way better than the explanation I launched into

Honestly if I found out someone I knew or met irl posted here I would think they pretty cool.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

Y'all remember that one post about that person who showed this site to their therapist and the therapist saw the tagline "cum guzzled through a dog's muzzle?"

lol for real I spoke to a therapist ones and I just ended up making him depressed lol. I'm like dude my anxiety issues aren't a disorder, the planet is on fire, my boss is a fascist, I barely have a home and could lose it at any time, and most of my friends are dead, in jail, or turned into reactionaries, and on top of all of that I stumbled into a management position where my entire job expectation is to betray every one of my moral fibers.

He gave me a note to go back to work and was basically like "yeah that's fucked not sure I can help you much besides letting you vent"

People keep telling me it's practically necessary and you discover so much stuff and it feels good to just talk to someone. And yeah, I'm sure that's all true. But my diary fills the same function, and I'm not just vomiting my rather bleak world-view at someone who's no doubt stretched thin as is.

after r/CTH was banned, several diasporic communities developed, of which Hexbear is the most supportive of trans comrades.

On reddit-logo there’s acidmarxism, and the comment section on blackwolffeed, I think there was also a discord.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

AcidMarxism is nice but it's very not-Online, in contrast to the original sub.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There’s a certain lack of self-awareness from a subreddit that’s so self-congratulatory about being not-online.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Look I don't know what "not-online" is actually supposed to mean but I do know that teacher steps in and locks the thread anytime we start screaming at each other, which I certainly don't consider in keeping with the cth ethos.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

The blackwolffeed comment section is garbage, most of the people there are the sorts we chased out of CTH

Is it healthy or unhealthy that Hexbear isn't anywhere near the list of things I ever considered talking to my therapist about thinking-about-it

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Healthy. But in my defense it came up tangentially while I was talking about other stuff and then I felt obligated to explain

I just did this the other day.

I told her it was an space for inclusivity and zero tolerance against hate. And a cool place for theory discussión + memes.

My therapist said it was awesome to have a place like that on today's reactionary internet.

And then she said I need to log off a little and go to the gym.

yea

i think you'll find I talk on hexbear before therapy

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

because i shitpost in the waiting room instead of thinking about things to talk about

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

actually fuck, i have talked about hexbear in therapy because i recalled a story I told here about failure - I mentioned that the inspiration to remember the story came from "a shitposting forum I spend time on"

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do make fun of you guys to my friends sometimes, sorry.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

I’m sorry, but unless you immediately retract those statements and call for the summary execution of your liberal “friends”, I’m afraid you can’t stay with us.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me talking to my therapist: "You see, there's this pig that has enormous balls, for breeding purposes, I guess. And the pig takes a dump but the poop doesn't fall to the floor - it stayed on his massive balls."
