Paper is successful even if it might not be "mainstream" or popular/known amongs the general masses.
I don't really like the setup of the app. It feels more like a group Instagram, not a chat app. I thought it would be a general room where people could talk. Instead it's about posting square photos or messages in square shaped boxes and then others replying and liking. Just doesn't feel like the chat I remember
Why should Chattir get attention and not one of the probably hundreds of other similar apps?

If only to make Messenger give me push notifications and not Facebook, I like that they're separate. I hardly ever use my Facebook account for anything other than messaging... on their old-fashioned system that's worse than AIM but is so popular that I have to use it.
Dumb
Chat rooms are so last decade. Heck... they're so 90's! Who goes to chat rooms anymore in this age of Skype and iMessage?

iMessage and Skype are not "rooms", they are one on one or group convos with people that are in your contacts. Chat rooms were more about going into something with 20+ people, who you don't necessarily know and just talking about whatever comes up.
Yes, because everything should be as boring as real life, because... Well, why exactly?
Interesting that you still choose not to use your real name here on macrumors.
I guess what you are saying confirms only boring people get bored.
You have to pretend and act like someone else to have a good time..?
I think within the facebook app itself there is enough fakery and misrepresentation.
And what does knowing a random user IDs mean? MacRumors (and probably thousands if not millions of other random forum and online communication sites online) has random user IDs associated with posts that are stored, and what then?
