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!

Apparently as a protest against "cashless society" efforts.

Yeah righto, it's a bank run and it better be funny as fuck.

Mainstream news are already drawing attention to it so there might be a slim chance that something entertaining will transpire.

it'd be fine if it was centralized but 99% of the time random ass places expect you to download their app

If so - this missive might be in your future.

i mean centralized in the hands of benevolent ppl, not big corps

edit: benevolent as in a proletarian government

would it be fine if it was centralized? I'd rather not be mandated to use one of the 3-4 credit card cartel companies/one of the two tech giants payment systems, just to exist in society. If you're going to issue cash as legal tender, places should really accept it. Maybe it'd be fine in an AES country or something but not loving it where I live.

in the hands of a proletarian government, yeah
