1. Huge potential in social neighbourhoods but unreachable?

   Simply put: I for one am not going to trust Linden Lab to sanely implement anything even remotely like a global chat. Nor am I going to believe that those pushing for it will settle for it being optional and off by default.

   That Info Hub chat was in Spring 2025. Maybe Open Sim scripts aren't up to snuff.

   I believe that unless SL changes "a lot" about their group chat, it would NEVER EVER work for > 100 people worth a damn. Let alone "the entire world if they care to listen in". So, woulda coulda shoulda.

   This was a translation script. I saw the Spanish typed out in local chat then it produced after thinking for a bit what I hope was a reasonably accurate translation into English. Still works the same way for many people. We see their chat, then we see the translator's chat. It's just faster because of very good web translation software for many years now. I saw our own @Nando Yip using some chat translator at a gathering, I believe.

   @Midnoot is completely justified, though. There's literally zero downsides to optional global channels. As pointed out, group chats aren't up to the task and people are going off platform. SL retention is already bad enough without the platform actively encouraging users to use other platforms.
