Comment on I rebuilt a 1997 chat room. First thing someone typed was "lol". Some things never change.

OP, this is you for real? First off, well done. It’s lovely to be online without bots.
Can you tell us from a privacy perspective, what records and data you collect? I assume IP address and logs of the text. What else? Browser data? Just curious.

Thank you :-) - yep, it’s me. no account or email. your lines are stored with your screen name and shown to people in the room for up to seven days.
a random token in your browser holds your name so nobody else can take it; it isn’t tied to who you are. your IP is used for rate limits and spam and kept 7 days at most.
lines are checked by an outside moderation service before they post, and a few refused ones are kept 48 hours to tune the filter.
the bot check (Vercel) may set its own cookie. nothing is sold. full privacy page is in Help. don’t put personal info in the room, anyone can read it.

The “outside moderation service” appears to be OpenAI, so the chats will be stored indefinitely.

Ugh, there’s plenty of local moderation tools

Womp womp… Saved forever.
OK, well I guess I’m going to have spam the other rooms with no one in them with ChatGPT injections.
