Reddit is removing your chat history from before 2023::As part of a migration to a new architecture, Reddit chose not to migrate chat histories before 2023. Though it offers a way for users to request their old data, including chat histories, some users say they’re still missing messages.
You must log in or register to comment.
People used the chat feature?

Don’t forget that a person who contacts people in this way has to be weird just due to the way of how she found you. As sad as it is for her, there’s a reason why she’s lacking friends this hard.
And newbies who didn’t realize that chat was trash that didn’t work on 3rd party apps.
The only time I ever chatted was with a guy who tried convincing me the Holocaust wasn’t real
They never made it available to 3P apps. I always figured they bought a chat system off the shelf just to say they had it.
There was a chat feature?
There was. I turned it off in 2019 because I was using a 3rd party Reddit app and didn’t realize 5 people tried to message me through the chat feature.
Yeah that’s how I feel because I used uBlock to hide the icon
Towards the end there anytime someone would pm me about something like 80% of the time it’d be a chat. I exclusively browsed on Reddit sync so when I randomly got on reddit desktop and saw I had like 10 chats from months ago it surprised me. Just goes to show how the community has shifted from when I first started 13 years ago and now imo.
Yeah I used RIF for 99% of my Reddit browsing. Once I logged onto Reddit on my PC and found some months old chat comment for someone that was requesting help with an experience I had. I felt bad about not seeing it because I genuinely would have given them a comment on it sooner if they would have just PMed me.
You perfectly illustrated how pointless the chat system is. PM was and is a perfectly viable way to contact people, no need for a jank messenger knock off.
Porn subs used it a lot, beyond that I’m pretty sure it was mostly useless
Lol right? Who gives a shit
I had a few people contact me for technical clarification on comments I made. Somebody also briefly used me as a support hotline for technical problems.
Nobody wanted chat on that site anyway. It was all catfish bots and cryptocurrency scams.
And sometimes both at the same time.
Gimmick to say the least… terrible in fact, there’s too many platforms for chatting as it is – where Discord shines in that regard
Great. So now I only have the 2023 chats which are 95% of them initiated by bots unlike previous years.
What’s a ‘reddit’?
I was perma banned on reddit which made it impossible to nuke(edit to gibberish & remove comments) my reddit. Hope this is an actual cleanup and my old comments get perma deleted as well.

I’ll try that out, thanks a lot!
Only CHAT, not comments. Totally different. People used comments, only bots used the chat
Shit, thanks!
The only thing I did was use adblock to disable the red speech symbol for chat lol. Never even used it!
Too late already deleted it
Jokes on them I already deleted mine
FUCK
how do i request data for chats?
That’s OK, I already deleted all my comments and left. Fuck 'em.
