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 was looking back over my posts, and that was my honest reaction. It's not very nice to keep autistic children around as your goofy lolcow, you know. Friends don't let friends post cringe. In your own words, I want to know why you thought it was fine to act like the kind of fuckin internet posting I do was fine, and that I should continue to do so, more, worse. Does that really seem like a good idea to you? Go look at those comments and say it to my face, fucker.

If you didn't, you are obligated to share with the class why you didn't offer even an ounce of dissent about it. There's a point past which politeness becomes condescending, and many months ago you could have saved everyone a ton of trouble, if you'd just said "this is terrible" or maybe even "lol cringe" at some point. It would have been mean, but it would have been less mean than sitting back and alllowing the high volumes of horror and embarrassment that ensued to happen. I mean, really.

If you disagree, I'd like to invite you to consider that you're wrong, and whoever gave me the ability to think and transcribe those thoughts with a keyboard has a lot to answer for. I looked at the megathreads today, and seeing people even partially attribute the 2500+ comment threads to my repulsive disaster posting is awful. There are people who actually post things of value in those threads.

Hahahahaha! lea-manic

Maybe in the other megas, but the trans one is just a huge pile of cringy shitposts. And that’s exactly how it should be and why people there are missing you.

I don't think I'd describe the trans mega as cringy, even my own posts in it most times. People do use it like posting twitter jokes or w/e, but I can honestly say nothing there has ever made me cringe, and sometimes my megaposting was cool. Sometimes

QUICK REVIEWS

A: I uncritically support this movement, good post.

B: This is a legitimately dumb fuckin shitpost but I laughed when I saw it. Insightful comment below about how many shock sites are just queer sex, too.

C: Dunking on old medical writings is permanently funny. Evergreen posting.

My honest reaction to this information: catgirl-salute yeag

makima-think Well, if even the lemon party one isn’t cringy to you, then your own posts certainly can’t be cringy either.

So there’s nothing that should stop you from going back to posting, right? doggirl-grin
