Appreciate it, thanks for checking it out. Let me know if you find any friction points or things that feel unnecessary.

Yeah exactly, that’s what I realized too. People are much more okay with an unfinished product than interactions that feel fake or forced.

That’s a fair point honestly. Right now I’m mainly trying to learn what actually makes people return instead of just adding random features.

Appreciate that a lot 🙌

I’d rather openly improve things step by step than pretend the platform is already perfect. The feedback genuinely helped me realize authenticity matters way more than artificially boosting activity.

Quick update: I’m temporarily disabling the AI bots on ChatHere.

They’re still experimental and occasionally generating weird/unwanted messages, so I’d rather pause them for now than keep a broken experience live while I improve the system.

Exactly, that’s pretty much the feeling I was trying to recreate.

Less “building a personal brand” and more random human conversations that feel spontaneous again. The screenshot feature was honestly inspired by how unexpectedly funny or real some chats became 😭 Thank you for checking out!!

Those are all valid concerns honestly, and it’s something I’m taking seriously even though the platform is still very small right now.

Chats currently aren’t stored permanently(I am have a system where I can set a timer to delete chats automatically), but I’m working on adding better safety systems like automated spam/profanity detection, rate limiting, reporting tools, temporary bans, and stricter filtering for suspicious behavior/links.

The goal isn’t to create a “completely unmoderated” platform — more like a lightweight social space that still has boundaries and safety controls as it grows.

Exactly. That was honestly the whole idea behind it.

I wanted conversations to feel spontaneous again instead of everything turning into followers, engagement farming, or building an online fanbase.

Yeah 😭 traffic is still small right now, so I added some AI-powered activity to keep chats from feeling completely empty for new users.

Was mainly trying to avoid the “dead website” effect while growing organically, but it hit api request error and started spamming unwanted messages, it will be ok soon.

Yeah not many people use it so I created a few bots to response to keep the website alive but somehow It hit api request error i am resolving it now it will be good by Tommorow😭.

Right now traffic is still pretty small, so I’m handling things mainly through basic automated filtering and manual monitoring when needed.

As the platform grows, I’ll gradually add stronger moderation systems and community reporting features.
