ingame chat / where are the toxic ppl?

i played around 40 games on here so far and never saw anyone using the chat in a game.

where are the toxic persons and the chatty persons?

biggest interaction i've had so far looks like this:

P2-"just learning"

P1-"same"

i'm surprised its barely ever used.

is that a very low ELO thing? do ppl get more chatty at higher ELO?

*i'm playing the 30min mode so it's not about lack of time

I think it is better to play silently and chat later. You can post games in the games analysis forum and discuss moves. It takes away from the concentration when you are chatting. When you see real OTB games, people aren't allowed to talk. Just because the chat feature is there doesn't mean you have to use it. Why not join a group and then play some games with the same people. Then you can discuss them after.

so it could even come off as rude to chat? i see. 

and i thought i was being nice

I mean people r here to play chess

yeah makes sense i guess..

but still im surprised to not even see "gl hf" or "gg" here and there, something..

you know just so it feels like youre playing a human.

I usually use mobile device on the website (which I regard superior to the app). So when I want to chat the keyboard takes up half the soace

I played a guy earlier today around 1700 and he told me to 'f*ck off' because he just lost to me and complained that I was too slow in the opening. (I was trying out an experimental opening)

One guy told Hikaru he hated losing to “clownpushers”... Hikaru was speedrunning at that time
