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!

My favorite Sam Hyde story is the time he got owned by a bunch of bronies.
He tried to scam them into giving him a bunch of Kickstarter money for an MLP fangame he had no intention to actually produce, but he did a shit job covering his tracks and was found out almost immediately, resulting in him being publicly outed and never coming close to his fundraising goal. Since Kickstarter goals operate on an all-or-nothing basis, everyone who donated to him automatically got their money back, meaning he completely wasted the time and money he put into setting up the scam.
