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.

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.

All the mutual aid post lately have really been getting to me. Everytime i see someone in a worse situation then me i feel guilty I'm not helping but I'm also living a life where i have to count every single dollar i spend. I've thought about blocking the com for my mental health but something about that feels wrong too.

no shame in blocking the comm if you're not in a position to help

I'm in the same place. Like a passenger on the Titanic treading water in the North Atlantic. I see the people drowning and my heart aches for them, but what the fuck am I able to do to help?
