why did the "chat room" die out.

it's more fluid than social media "posting" formats, more spontaneous, more conversational, more faggy.

I guess xo is more like a chat room. with its stripped down interface, the "posting" action is more rapid, instantaneous, conversation-like engagement with dozens of people. that's why it still has an appeal.

there are group chats, discord, basically the same thing, they are just more fragmented and so pervasive that they all serve some very specific niche purpose rather than being an open salon that exists for the sake of nothing but general chat. now one person is in like a dozen electronic group conversations at once. xo actually is as close as it gets today.
