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!

Bluesky was fun before the 2016 election. It had a "back to brunch" vibe and I could eavesdrop. But then the site became mostly lame. And now it's (very) tedious on top of that. An example - people are arguing about the 2028 presidential race and Newsom in particular. But not a way that's insightful, amusing or c/slop-worthy. Plus there are "Why do people keep talking about 2028 presidential race and Newsom in particular?" meta-posts.
I realized I wasn't clear so I edited my post. Somebody simply saying "I'm anti-communist" is so uncouth. It just won't do.
