Yes, people did that because social media didn't exist. If you want to chat there are a million other platforms that are infinitely more popular than any in game chat.

Yeah but they were fun and pro-social. There were/are no skinner box machinations, no mtx, no advertising, no attention economy.

Any platforms you'd reccomend? I'm not familiar with anything like the old AOL IM chatrooms. It's just reddit, facebook, twitter, and various other hellsites.

Is IRC still around? It must be. Hmm.
