How talking works
Messages are up to 80 characters and stay on screen for about 5 seconds. Every reaction from someone else keeps a message up a little longer, to a maximum of 45 seconds. If you missed something, the chat panel keeps the room's last 15 minutes; nothing older hangs around.
You get a random name and can reroll it, but you can't type one, so there's nothing rude to pick. You can send one message about every 10 seconds, which keeps the pace slow.
The music
Each open room has its own radio station: lo-fi and jazz-hop on the Rooftop, rain-soaked lo-fi in Tokyo Alley. Playback follows the server clock, so everyone in the room hears the same track at the same point, like sitting next to the same speaker.
Kept friendly
Links, social handles and phone numbers are blocked. Repeating the same message gets you muted for a minute. Every message has a small flag to report it, and reports are reviewed against the community rules.
When a room is quiet, a few Regulars keep it company. They're AI characters, marked with ◌, they say so if you ask, and they step back as real people arrive. They're never counted as people in the room.
Questions
Is the chat anonymous?
Yes. You're shown with a random name and nothing else. Don't share personal details; contact info is blocked anyway.
Can I just listen to the music?
Yes. You don't have to chat or puff. The radio keeps playing while the room is open.
How old do I need to be?
13 or older, as in our terms. The rules apply to everyone, and anything sexual involving under-18s is banned outright.
How many people are in a room?
Up to 50. When a room fills, a fresh copy of it opens, so it never gets crowded.
