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.

Wait, people actually complain about hardtimes and onion articles? That's baffling. They're silly shitposts that clearly label themselves, it's not at all like the problem of "literally this one poster keeps making 'news' posts where the joke is that it's a lie and not even like a funny one" that c/fakenews was made to quarantine.

The last time I posted an Onion-esque article, again 2 months ago half the comments were telling me to take it elsewhere and someone reported it. I get that there are people who have trouble parsing this kind of stuff but it's easy to check and even when I get got I laugh it off and go about my day.
