There is a general chat channel available if anyone wants to use it. I just enabled automatic deletion of chat messages after 7 days to help differentiate it from forum topics. I also enabled auto-adding forum members to it but feel free to mute it or leave if you don’t want to receive the messages. I think only paid members can read it or send messages.

If anyone has fear, uncertainty or doubt about putting their writing on the internet, using this forum could be hard, even under a pseudonym. Using a chatroom with automatic message deletion (and it’s also less public) could help you get started and get more comfortable.
I may not talk a lot in the chat but hopefully if you talk there at least one other person will reply some.
Feel free to take things I said on the forum, and links I shared, and comment on them in the chat.
If chatting sounds too hard, another thing to try is private journaling or freewriting. Just get used to writing more without sharing it with anyone.
