I wrote a comment outlining my very specific and somewhat surprising immigration situation, and someone asked me if I would mind answering some questions because they were by chance writing an article about people who fit my exact situation.
I gladly would have answered whatever questions they had, but they asked me via that dumb fucking chat function, so I only saw a year after they sent me the message.
I hated the chat function. DMs make sense, that stupid chat never did. And as I didn’t really browse Reddit from my desktop (it was always a mobile app for me) and I used Boost, I never consistently checked my chats.
Yeah I really disliked it, bots were always trying to chat with me (also follow). I finally had to disable it. Direct messages are fine, but if they ever add following or chat here, the first thing I’ll do is disable it. I mean if I want to chat (which is rare), I’ll just head over to Discord.
Of course. The 12 year olds had to send you a death threat somehow?
Seriously, every time I got one, I checked the account and it was someone asking OP models how they are doing and posts on /askreddit like “How to meet girls?”.
People actually used the chat? I thought it was just spammers.

I’m guessing they never opened up the API for chats. 3rd party app users never saw chats
I almost could have sworn that boost had it… I remember being frustrated that I couldn’t get the chat pop up to go away.
I could easily be misremembering too, though.
No I’m pretty sure that was one of the things the Apollo dev was looking forward to with paid API.

Might have been good if they had improved the API to include chats at least. But no.

Every few months I’ll log in on a PC and have a bunch of messages about comments. Oops. I should say, used to. Won’t be going back.
Dude, there are so many hot chicks from my area trying to hook up in chat. You won’t believe it!
Used RiF exclusively, do didn’t even had the option (thankfully) to use it.
I used it a couple of times to reach out when I felt like a more personal approach would be helpful.
Same. I’ve actually made a friend via the chat lol
