I didn’t want it but now that it’s here and many people did message me (usually asking for something) I would feel upset that all that history is lost.
Thank god I made a data request last month asking for everything in my account. I have all my 10+ years of Reddit history backed up elsewhere.
If chat is what I’m thinking of (the private DM feature), then I used it once or twice. Namely, when I wanted to send a link/file to users in a community where posting links or files were not allowed, or being on the receiving end of that, wanting to privately message someone asking for something.
Tbh, it’s not a system that needs to be overhauled and enhanced. It should just do the bare minimum of letting people privately message each other in a more streamlined format (a chat, as opposed to the equivalent of sending e-mails back and forth)
No one wanted chat. Does anyone use chat?

I lived on old reddit. Chat and these other useless features just did not exist for me.
Chat is available on old.reddit. It’s still pretty useless though.
I kept finding chats I didn’t notice after months or years. It just didn’t seem to fit well in that platform
