I don't use the chat associated with Codidact for three reasons:<ol>

<li><b>It's a waste of time.</b>  If there is something to talk about that would be content in one of the Q&A sites, then that's where it should be.  If it's related but not thought out well enough to be a proper Q&A question, then it's not ready yet to ask a bunch of volunteers to spend time on it.  If it's not even related to a Q&A topic, then it's just part of a kaffeeklatsch.  No thanks.  I've got better things to get on with.

<li><b>It's not useful to the chat comment author.</b>  Information you write isn't really added to the store of knowledge we are trying to build.  Most likely, only the single user or group you are responding to will ever see what you write.  Writing in chat has very low bang for buck ratio.

<li><b>I don't want to be associated with something called "Discord".</b>  In the early days of Codidact, there would often be references to the "Discord server".  I didn't know what it was, but the name was very off-putting.  There is enough discord in the world already.  I don't want to be part of more.  It was also off-putting that people would just say "Discord server", and expect everyone else to know what they were talking about.  It felt like the private domain of an "in" clique.  I eventually realized Discord was some kind of chat server, but the name and the experience still makes me not want to have any part in it.
