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.

I sort of tell myself that it's probably that I just hate how people are under capitalism, but sometimes I wonder if I simply dislike being around people in general.

Some of my volunteering essentially puts me on a commune for 3-4 weeks, and holy fuck does leaving capitalism's environment make everything better. I can easily tolerate liberals without screaming at them for the entire time because I'm not worrying about every little necessity - commuting, shopping, cooking - on an individual level, with everyone just sharing the load instead.
