REDDIT USERS are in for a retro treat as the site starts rolling out live chat-rooms as a public beta to more subreddits on a daily basis.
One of the (thousands of) admins from Reddit, in this case, u/ityoclys has explained his (her?) experiences with the beta, which has been in limited private beta for some time.
Reddit Chat is aimed at fostering closer relations between Redditors and the original private beta was a way for the company and moderators to get to know a group of testers and let them get to know each other.
