Consider this place your friendly, local Australian pub. Make yourself at home, bring your friends, have a good time! Meet new people, have a laugh, enjoy the ambience, and the Oxford commas.

Chinwag provides Australian-based free and open social networking and communication tools.

We have no purpose in life other than providing people with the ability to communicate with other people on a secure, open and equal footing.

Our general usage policy is fluid but well-summarised by "don't be a dick". Management is fairly relaxed but if your purpose in life is to make other people miserable then you can piss off somewhere else, or even better, just stop posting.

Be respectful. Take it easy. Have some fun. Don't make me come over there.

1. Bot accounts are generally not permitted. Ask first.
2. Chinwag is for people, not brands. Sign up as yourself, not your project.
3. Don't upset the regulars. The longer you've been here, the more slack you get.
4. No harassment or bullying allowed, ever.
5. We're not prudes, but don't get overly sexual without Content Warnings.
6. We're mostly Australians and don't fucking care if you swear a bit.
