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.

As the climate change apocalypse unfolds, I'm finding it increasingly hard to look at any issue without immediately thinking of how climate change is going to affect that issue before I look at any other factors or effects. I'm also finding it harder to care about any issue where, no matter a negative or positive outcome, the local area where the issue is happening will be unlivable in a decade or two.
