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!

I realised the other day I was self isolating to a really risky degree and figured I'd stop lurking. Can't even remember what my old username would've been on r/CTH, time fucking flies in the fugue.

It's a relief that this place exists, that you all exist and are here talking shit and being decent people. I've been occupied with online fash watching, pulling on threads and fuckery lately and its so bleak doing that shit without a solid and reliable social counterweight. I've been appreciating everyone for just doing the hexbear social project and providing a reliably comfortable and safe place to relax. An oasis of organic life in a dead network.

Fuck yeah nailed the awkward first post. Hello.

Glad to have you onboard.

I know what you mean, even back in the r/CTH days it felt like the one place on reddit-logo to get away from the lib echo chamber but without the sectarian bickering or ban-happy mods that plagued most left wing subs.

Still like that in Hexbear; a bit more ML heavy than back on the sub, still pretty chill sectarian-wise.

I've gotta imagine the increasingly ML tendency is just a byproduct of getting away from reddit brained libs and observing reality unfold over the past 4 years.

The contradictions have gotten extra heightened

Record breaking year on year growth in the alienation industry. Guys just trying to get alienated now? You're gonna have to move fast to get on board but it's worth it because class consciousness will never be lower. Mark my words.

As for those still on the fence, you gotta face the facts. Let me tell you something, the big guys upstairs? The way they talk about it, it's going to be an absolute bloodbath on average guys starting next quarter, absolutely cut-throat moves. That's the new normal.

But you know what? Forget. The. Guys. Upstairs. That's institutional thinking for institutional size players you cannot mirror their moves. There's already too many big fish in that pond and they will eat you alive by accident.

t34 Nope, gotta get off the fence and make a move. SERIOUSLY MOVE I'M NOT BRAKING THIS TIME LIBS. FUCK THE OPTICS. t34
