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.

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

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.
