Tbf, the zoomer/boomer thing is in the same vein.
If I can recall, chat was a term used in old IRC rooms, too. Just fads coming back around. Its just like "groovy" or "bees knees". Every gen has their slang.
Its literally too much stress for me to get irritated over something so small. I have enough stress already. We all do. Save yourself a pointless wrinkle, friend.
i don't remember using "chat", i remember using "all", but different rooms had different cultures.
Yeah, I hit a few rooms that said 'chat', but it wasn't really a solid thing. That was the fun part of not having centralized social platforms. Each room had its own thing, and it was hilarious when you said something that was popular in one room in another and found someone you knew from that same room.
