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!

Hexbear is pretty much the only Internet place I still respect. Ofc it's not perfect but I swear there's not a single other Internet third space that's actually principled
Every other social media platform is the YouTube comments section and should be treated as such
The entire world is a YouTube comments section
Hexbear is real life, everything else is computer. When someone tells you to touch grass what they are actually saying is that you should post more on the bear site
Hard agree, even other supposed leftist spaces have all kinds of bs and or ableism that keeps pissing me off or at least making me tired. Today I had 2 Portuguese mad at me and being racist in a post about GTA lol, and saw some members of the clan I'm in in Warframe discussing fucking eugenics because someone bought up some bs Switzerland is doing, good thing me and another user were countering the bs there.
Yeah nowhere is perfect but at least we put in the work to not be scumbums sometimes.
Im certain there are various discords and even smaller forums that enforce no slur usage but as I said most of those arent Marxist or even leftwing afaik.
That doesn't guarantee a place free of ableism especially, disability is kind of a litmus test to see if a person is good or some level of enthralled in status quo, if they want a sick person to live a comfortable enough life while contributing whatever said person can then they're good and if they say anything adjacent to "well they need to represent themselves well, they need to dress and speak normally" they're fucked up on some level and want to do eugenics to an extent if they can.
This is a Christian server
i thought we were taosits against hentai
It's the only place thst still kinda feels like web 1.0. I still think we should be a BBS style forum.
