    I wrote a comment outlining my very specific and somewhat surprising immigration situation, and someone asked me if I would mind answering some questions because they were by chance writing an article about people who fit my exact situation.

    I gladly would have answered whatever questions they had, but they asked me via that dumb fucking chat function, so I only saw a year after they sent me the message.

        I almost could have sworn that boost had it… I remember being frustrated that I couldn’t get the chat pop up to go away.

        I could easily be misremembering too, though.

          No I’m pretty sure that was one of the things the Apollo dev was looking forward to with paid API.

      I hated the chat function. DMs make sense, that stupid chat never did. And as I didn’t really browse Reddit from my desktop (it was always a mobile app for me) and I used Boost, I never consistently checked my chats.

        Yeah I really disliked it, bots were always trying to chat with me (also follow). I finally had to disable it. Direct messages are fine, but if they ever add following or chat here, the first thing I’ll do is disable it. I mean if I want to chat (which is rare), I’ll just head over to Discord.
