Not many use the chat. If you have chatted in the past - what is different about this one? What would you improve?
Or is it just the “redundancy” of being able to post in a thread – especially in Meta and Social – the way you would in chat anyway?
Or is because of the lurve? Do you feel you are wasting time in chat without getting lurve for it? ~
In any event, I’d like to be able to “peek” in and read the discussion without actually entering. I don’t know if this is possible. Once you’re in – you are seen and have to go through the whole ritual of small talk and greetings – and sometimes you don’t feel like it – but if there were a window on the conversation – we could decide whether to jump in or not.
Probably a dumb idea.
