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!

It was presented as this sort of "Go meet people in real life! phone bad!" thing. Then I looked it up and realize it was run by ycombinator, the eugenicist bazingabrains that run the orange website and want everyone to spend their entire lives staring at a vrchat anime avatar. a-guy God I hate bazingabrains.

Never saw bazinga brain before, and I suspect one of you published the definition, because it’s based.

For sure, if there's a critical mass of users in your area though you can always use a bogus profile and otherwise guard your privacy.

There's a big discord in Philly for event organization for instance.

It's not about privacy. The website as it is is pretty benign and seems cool. It's that I know these people are deranged chuds in a tech cult and will inevitably do some fucked up shit. Plus I don't want to ever financially support these fuckers.
