Why on earth Product Hunt doesn't have an online chat? 🤔

Question

Matthew Johnson · Accepted Answer

I'd love a PH Slack community

Abadesi · Answer

We did have chat for some time but removed it due to spammer abuse.

How do you think discussions could better facilitate chatting?

@abadesi I figured it was something like this, sadly spammer's are in whole internet :(

I think groupes would be a good fit. 
Some Facebook groups have managers and submanagers that can handle with spammers.

In that way it wouldn't be like a 'discord' chat, but in another hand it will have some interact with the community.

Think about groups with afinitys like: 'blockchain', 'marketing', 'developers' etc.
Probably ppl would help each other in tha groups, and it might increase the time user on PH.

Rick Somar · Answer

@abadesi well, connect with people and get faster interaction. Don't know, just thought that PH can make people communicate in somehow (we're doing it now, but theres lot of ways to make it more interactive)

Abadesi · Answer
