Global chat: one open room, people from everywhere

What the Global chat is

One public room, one stream of messages, everyone talking at once. It is the opposite of one-to-one random chat: you read along, jump in when you like and leave when you are done. The room is shared with funchat.in, so it is rarely quiet.

What you can do in the room

• Chat with everyone at once, newest message at the bottom.
• Reply to a message, react with an emoji, or copy it.
• See who is online and tap a name to see their profile card.
• Delete a message you sent, if you regret it.
• Report anything that breaks the rules.

House rules, kept short

• Be decent. Banter is fine, harassment is not.
• 3 messages a minute, so nobody floods the room.
• No links, phone numbers or abusive words. They are blocked automatically.
• Adults only (18+). Do not share personal details.

Prefer one-to-one?

Try a text chat or a video chat with a single stranger, or play Scribble with the same community.

Why a public chatroom still works

One-to-one chat is like a phone call: intimate, and over when someone hangs up. A chatroom is more like a cafe. People drift in and out, someone says something funny, two others pick it up, and the conversation has a life of its own. You can read for a minute before you decide to say anything, which makes it a gentler way in if you are shy.

Because the room is shared with funchat.in, it is rarely empty, and the time zones overlap enough that there is almost always someone around, morning or night.

Getting the most out of the room

• Read the last few messages before you jump in, so your first line fits the topic.
• Reply to a specific message instead of posting a general “hi”. It makes people feel heard.
• React with an emoji when you agree. It keeps the room friendly without adding noise.
• Tap a name to see a profile card before you reply to someone you do not know.
• Use Report if someone is being abusive. Do not argue with them.

Privacy and safety in a shared room

Everything you post in the Global chat is visible to everyone in the room, so treat it like a public place. Do not share your real name, phone number, address, school or social accounts. The room blocks phone numbers and links automatically, but only you can decide what is worth saying.

The room is for adults only. Messages are not saved for you to read later, and the chat clears itself regularly. If something upsetting happens, leave with one tap.
