I've wondered that. I guess people use Discord instead. The chat is nice, but can be a bit clunky. I think some dapps apart from peakd did use it. We need such features to be widely used to be more useful.
It would be nice and makes sense to bring dialogues onchain from discord.
The problem I find with short form content is there are so many in a thread/container or whatever you call it. You step away for 10 minutes and new ones have grown quicker than mushrooms
and you don't have to worry about triggering autovotes, that's one thing i didn't like about people posting short content on the chain, a lot of them just did low effort post to milk upvotes
agree, Snaps or microblogging in general gives that 'self space' feeling where you could just throw out whatever is in your mind. What more if there are stories feature.
I think chat is more for asking questions and quick interactions and snap and other micro blogging is more publishing small content from things you are interested in like on X.
@jarvie I really think in light of snaps success chat could perhaps roll out a simplified experience. It's way too clunky and unintuituve. It also doesn't load in Firefox for me. I honestly don't even known how I can write a message there - but maybe it's just my stupidity😅
Because Snaps is a lot like using HIVE blogging just with shorter posts or snaps. The voting system is the same. This makes using Snaps very easy and the learning curve for people already familiar with HIVE almost zero.

It won't be possible to keep up with the whole feed, but you can check tags if people use those.
I just tried to reach you on the chat and it's not working :(
Maybe that's one of the reasons it didn't take off
I also wonder the same thing. I guess people are just used to discord, although I think it’s better to change that in the future.
Snaps can be fun as you can just post anything without really expecting someone to reply.
Chats are good for convos.

Chatting is something totally different than microblogging.
And microblogging can earn you rewards, that also attracts people.
Both chats and Snap are the same nature, if I understand it correctly, except you can earn rewards in Snap and not in Chat.

Good question. Personally the chat was too clunky to use. Microblogging also has rewards :)
I agree, chat is quite clunky and doesn't always work. Perhaps microblogging is the new chat..

Interesting conversation... I'm following along
What's your thoughts on this?
