about chatlobby

a small, fast chat lobby. you pick a username, an age and a country, and you talk to whoever's around — in public rooms, or one to one.

what happens to your messages

messages clear within a day. if you close the tab as a guest, your profile is removed about an hour later and you don't exist here anymore — the name, the card, the whole session.

or you can keep it

your conversations still disappear. your account doesn't have to. a free account holds the name so nobody else can take it, along with your level and your sparks. it needs no email address — just a name and a password.

swap

send a picture in and one comes back from a stranger. you find out what it is when you open it, and what you get back matches what you sent — a gif for a gif. swaps are paid for in sparks, which you earn when someone likes what you sent, or by watching an ad once you reach level 2.

levels

talking with people moves you up; being here does not. someone replying to you counts, and a conversation that keeps going both ways counts for more. levels unlock a line under your name and the store.

moderation

moderators are real people, not models. if you see something that breaks the rules, use the block button or the report flow. we'll act on it.
