TIL the hard way that leaving a chatter lounge group chat on read for 9 days kills the whole vibe
Back on the 12th I joined a chatter lounge group chat with 6 people I met at a meetup in Columbus, and it started great, like 40 messages a day. Then work got busy and I muted it for 9 days without saying anything. When I came back, the chat was dead. Nobody had posted since the 18th, and two people had left. I asked one of them what happened and she said, plain as anything, "we figured you were done with us." Turns out in a chatter lounge, silence reads as a message. One quiet week and everyone assumes the group is over. So if you run or join one of these chats, say something small every couple days, even just a reaction. Has anyone else watched a good chatter lounge group go cold from one person going quiet?
