As yet another example of why we can’t have nice things, some ne’er-do-well masqueraded as @glennf and used SlackBITS to send phishing messages to a number of members. I’ll be writing more about that soon, but since the main thing we used SlackBITS for was real-time chats during Apple events, I wanted to see if the Discourse Chat capability could take over. I’ve enabled a new real-time chat channel called—what else?—ChatBITS.
It’s much like using Slack or Messages or WhatsApp or any other real-time chat, complete with one level of threading, so sub-conversations can take place off to the side.
You can join the chat here:
I know very little about the chat experience, so let’s give it a try.
