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 don't know if I should make this post, but has anyone noticed the weird vibe here these days? (hexbear.net)

Is it just because the collapse is getting particularly bad and everyone is extra miserable? (Me too, hard not to be down when the world is burning and you can't afford food.)

I have this stupid thing where I feel the need to help, but I don't know what to do... I'm sorry if I annoy everyone. I feel powerless.

Feel free to delete this if it counts as too meta

EDIT: I don't really know how to react to everyone saying such heartfelt things, other than saying thank you.

Look homey. Shit absolutely sucks ass. Nothing is going well fucking anywhere. But we all still make it through the churn. Everything is fucking hard. We don't get easy mode. We all get full-ass late-stage capitalism mode. And it fucking sucks. But we have to keep fighting. We're going to have to do this shit forever. It's our lot in life. Unfortunate for us, but the world we can create for those who come after is what makes it worthwhile.

I love you homey, and I love shitposting with you. Never give up.

Especially blessed (though it sure doesn't seem like it) are those who have planted trees that settler now rips from the ground. Fuck Deuteronomy 6:10,12.
