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!

You should assume that large employers are running your name through some software to see what things you’re posting online. You should at the very least think about public posts and comments under your legal name. Not sure what other services are out there, but I’m sure there are some that can dig deeper than that e.g. attempting to find social media not registered under your name but linked to a known email address. This is the consequence of your data being sold by the Fuckerbergs of the world.

Luckily for me, only social media i use is this den of iniquity and reddit dot com and i havent been on reddit dot com in a month of sundays.

Ive never signed up for anything beyond here and reddit. One of the benefits to having grown before social media existed i suppose.
