Is there any chance kbin will give chatrooms a go like reddit did? Except maybe get it right and not abandon it halfway through? (kbin.social)

I really miss chatrooms in general, and I thought we were due for a comeback for the year or two reddit was running them, what with the userbase they have.

Have you checked out matrix? Kbin chat is #kbin:matrix.org

the dev here is very busy as it is and I can't imagine chatrooms are a priority. though there's already federated chatroom options like matrix.

People used the Reddit chat?

I tried for a hot minute over COVID, and it was buggy as hell, but overall, a fun and active environment before they scrapped it.

Have you tried joining a discord server? That may be more of what you’re looking for.

Discord is a proprietary technology, which can go the way of Reddit at any moment. Discord 'servers' may feel like something self-hosted by the 'owners', but there are not much more independent from Discord as individual subreddits are from Reddit.

I've been part of Discord for a long time, but it feels like there aren't many general chat options, they're all based around a thing I'm not familiar with and don't like. And then so many servers seem to be children.
