>I agree, the people who are defending wiki chat must have never used a dedicated chat platform and seen all the features they're missing out on. I'm on a wiki where chat is used every single day. We have a Discord server too. We barely use the server and we do most of our stuff on chat. This is the case on some other wikis too. So, kind of makes sense that some people are not happy.

>In short, hard to moderate, lack of organization, and lots of chaos when it's really active. If you have a good moderation team, then really, there isn't a problem. You can report users too, as in notify the moderator if someone is causing trouble. Some wikis do not need multiple channels to operate. And Discord servers can be pretty chaotic too when really active. Yes, if you want, there is slow mode but still can get chaotic, especially when there are a bunch of people typing (big thing in big servers).

And while I get where you two are coming from, others have their reasons for not wanting chat to go. There's a whole nostalgia aspect to it and some wikis still do rely/use it.
