MODERATORS
Is it really that different than saying "Audience"? Or radio shows referring to "listeners"? Etc.
Or "y'all"
Saying "chat" to address a group or room full of people isn't different at all from addressing them as "y'all"
All y'all more specifically
Regional differences :)
Except y'all is a second person plural, and I think 'chat' here is still functioning as a noun.
