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!

Good effort posts should be written in a proper markdown editor and then moved over when they're ready, imo. But rip to your lost effort. torment

Olds Like Me chomsky-yes-honey who were on web 1.0 forums know you should type long replies into a text editor running locally, then copy/paste it into the forum submit box

Check your drafts folder. Sometimes it will save posts when a crash or something occurs.

Posts that disappear like that are colloquially known as "the mods' share".
