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!

its a major blindspot at the moment that people don't understand the purpose of demonstrations. it feels like even on hexbear we've normalised the same attitude that 14 year olds on reddit tend to spread- that its all self indulgent counter productive nonsense.
Its a shame because people do get activated at these things and if not that, then at least better primed to absorb radical messaging in future.
Not that i blame anyone, especially No Kings seems to be a platform for everyone, so alongside the revolutionary current there's also the establishment libs trying to ride the wave, which leads to mindkill propaganda from them becoming associated with getting out and getting red mad and nude with your community.
