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!

old post

This comrade and long-time Hexbear recently permanently deleted their account. I normally wouldn't make this any of my business, except in this instance I have reason to believe that they may have done so because they felt like they were being mocked or shamed by other members of our community over a popular post they made years ago on a controversial topic.

If you're reading this, comrade, know this: You have nothing to be ashamed of; we valued you in our community—and FWIW I agreed with your post! I know others did too.

I don't even think the comrade who linked to your post was trying to mock you; they seemed kind of agnostic on the topic. I think they were simply dropping relevant site lore in an honest attempt to inform the derisively incredulous, without realizing how that might be perceived by (in?) such a close-knit community.

It is the nature of topics like this that they (frequently) appear unhinged to the uninformed. Remember that that's their problem.
