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!

What are we seeing out there folks? From where I sit right now it does not appear that anyone gives a shit.

Flying twice next week so that's cool. Hope I don't die.

idk how effective it is but at this point I'm willing to try anything, I'm getting like a dozen of these fucking calls a day and they all seem to be from NYC area codes (I am nowhere near NYC)

Due to a partial lapse in federal government funding, starting October 1, 2025, the FCC's Consumer Complaint Center (CCC) will be unavailable until normal agency operations resume.

Them being from a place where you're not is the best -- you can safely ignore those. I'm in the same boat and would be pissed if they came from local numbers that could actually be relevant.

You know the spammers have a way to spoof the phone numbers they are calling from? So they might not actually be calling from NY.
