Interesting. I think text chats would be a nice addition as they allow asynchronous conversations which would be beneficial.

    I was just replying to comments on a thread i didn't realize was a day old and it occurred to me, no one's here, they're all on the front page HN is already a chat room, kind of swarming from one topic to the next, but there's a few hundred people just sitting around talking, roughly guided by a stream of crowdsourced bookmarks don't really know what the benefit of dropping the topics and just having a free for all chat would be

Fully agree. If this was a text first, voice if you want thing that would be much nicer and accessible too.

  Honestly I wouldn't mind a good ol' fashioned global group chat. I know there are moderation issues there, but I miss IRC and want more of that feeling elsewhere. I should just go reinstall my IRC setup...

    Actually, that's a good point - why is there no HN IRC?

      There is a #hackernews on Libera.chat, and I believe I've seen a #ycombinator (or something similar) somewhere. No idea how official they are. But every HN-based community I've seen was a ghost town outside HN itself.

  Um no? Not one on one, not instantaneous, nobody expects an answer to any reply.
