Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I have probably had 6 or 7 or 8 accounts since TD forked off of Reddit.
I think one reason I burn everything down and start over again is that I don’t mind real talk or disclosing something in a moment, but I despise identity politics types who exhume some two year old comment and say something nasty and irrelevant about my life or story to win whatever point they’re trying to prove today. That’s why I don’t like them. I don’t have any secrets but it’s a lot like Reddit right, you’re talking about your favorite 5-speed transmission , and someone goes “oh , I see you’re from the Donald, your opinion about cars is irrelevant.” That sort of crap.
I don’t see it as much on scored. I dont mind disclosing certain things but I also don’t feel a need to drag my personal proclivities into absolutely EVERYTHING like those people do. For that matter, I prefer it to be at my own discretion, when I think it’s helpful, and not weaponized against me by some bigoted partisan clown
I get that. I have different accounts for the other scored subs
Never really thought of that.
Even just between GA/TD, people are like “ooohhh you’re a Qultist.” Which is exactly what the rest of Reddit did to TD’ers, I’ve seen this movie before.
That part, I don’t care about anymore. I’m here. I like the board. I wish I had had the presence of mind to respond with that , re: t_d back in the day
Well welcome fren <3 glad you found the board
