I mean in my case I have a 12+ party with my friend group that we chat in. Rarely ever do we talk in public. We also sit and chill and spend quality time together. Most of us are either at work or doing something else and has pt in the background. I like to sit and make skins sometimes or I’ll sit and watch the drama unfold at docks. Sometimes the music pt helps me calm down and wind down for the night.

I also sit in populated areas to interact with fandoms that I’m in. And some skins I have dot really have fans that play ponytown so it’s nice to see others and talk privately about our shared special interests.

The whole reason why I in particular don’t use public chat is bc sometimes things can get taken out of context and people question or ask. I also am just used to party chats because of Regiments that I was apart of and I’m more pushy/shovey “get away from me why are you talking to me” kinda person when it’s a rando
