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!

Slop is for gossip, the only rule for fake news is that it's OC only. I didn't think "Mark Wahlberg Claims Elon Musk’s Botched Penis Implant Wouldn’t Have Gone Down Like That If He Was Attending Surgeon" was going to set off the "I can't actually tell if this is real and that makes me upset" brigade.

I'm sorry that was a little harsh, the last Onion article I posted two months ago had half the comments complaining about it and apparently got reported, figured this was esoteric enough I was gonna dodge complaints.

Yeah, if the post wasn't removed I woulda mentioned that I didn't mean any ill will towards you for making the post lol - the disgusted "ugh" didn't help with the tone though I'm sure.

IMO it's weird that this type of post isn't allowed on c/fakenews, but I admit the mind of the fakenews mod is an enigma to me

It was originally just containment for Melina posting and I assume they didn't want it to just be Onion articles.
