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!

I lift a lot of stuff from it because they have their finger on the pulse of slop. But like I've seen a lot of casual antisemitism coming from them whenever anything jewish adjacent pops up. Ableism too, like real bad, slurs and all. Yes I know reddit and all that, but it feels like hexbear is the only place on the net not infected by shit.

It certainly hasn't been about the podcast/conspiracy culture for a while. I'm an r/TA refugee so perhaps things have changed but it really seems like the inevitable forces of reddit finally catching up with them. Memorable posters like throwaway numbers or opencommune disappearing, refugees from the latest banned 'left' subreddit not integrating, a lot of reaction/image stuff instead of interesting text posts, multi-thread discourse, etc. It's reddit.

Throwaway still posts, opencommune was BMF.

The episode threads usually get low double digit comments at most
