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!

Life is so bad right now. Everything is fucking awful. But things could have been a lot more awful. I posted on here last night begging for someone to talk me into taking my psych meds and someone did it. They even worked with the stupid parameters mentally ill me set up for myself. I never expected anybody to send me money for cigarettes. But that pack of smokes got me back on my anti-psychotics

I really don't know what I'd do without you guys. When this website is down, it is genuinely painful. I understand why the site goes down, it has to happen, but I look forward to seeing the Hexbear front page than I do for anything else in my life. I hate to imagine how much worse things would have been in my life over the past few years without Hexbear. People on here have shown up for me more than anybody else. Thank you guys so much

It might sound silly to say about a website but I completely agree with you. This place is uniquely beneficial in a way that's hard to put into words. It's an oasis in the desert that is the internet and a generally cruel society. I don't know what I would do with myself without a space like this and the people like you that inhabit it

This online space is pretty dang special.

I am consistently amazed with how wonderful a support system this place has cultivated. Hell, when we first started our fundraisers for Chunka Luta, it was users from this site that were some of our bigger donors including a few who I suspect were some of the really big donors. This place has done more praxis than any terminally online shitposting site has any right to and it's honestly beautiful.

I'm glad you got help with the smokes and the meds and here's to 4 more years of tripping over our dicks into revolutionary praxis.

I unironically suspect that if there is ever revolution in the imperial core we will at least get a footnote in the history books of the future.

Been reconsidering the posting as praxis question recently when this site has literally kept me and my friend fed at times, not to mention the positive political development I've had over the last few years from being here

Am so glad we helped <3

This place feels like it is a beacon of sanity in an insane world.

We're glad to have awesome comrades here like you! I really liked your thread last night, it was insightful for me as a neurodiverse person going through changes.
