This is kind of absurd and tedious, to be quite honest. I know chat is not very active on a lot of wikis but very few actually use chat. If it's not as good, why not put some time into fixing it instead of getting rid of it completely?

I'm on a wiki that uses chat even more than Discord. It's where we do most of our talking. As mentioned, chat on Fandom doesn't require you to download any third party system or using another platform. There was also the case of CCC, which, was DISABLED, despite the fact that tons of people used it daily. So, of course, by getting rid of one of the few active chats, less people are going to use the chat feature. Again, this is tedious and really unnecessary, but whatever, arguing about this is useless. I'm sad this decision was made. I've met tons of friends through it, and my main community.
