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!

I built a compatibility script and got a new favorite hobby: vibe checking twitch streamers (piefed.zip)

I wrote a script to generate a compatibility score based on stuff that matters to me.

I pull channels from https://sullygnome.com/channelsearch, filter for tiny streams, run my little questionnaire, and if the score comes back high enough I answer with "Nice to meet you comrade o7."

If they don't respond or the compatibility is low? I just move on. No lurking, no engagement, no wasted energy.

It's efficient, it's weird, and I've actually found a couple of cool people this way. Anyone else do something like this or am I just terminally online? xD
