Our Community Guidelines

To ensure ChatDesh remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone, we ask all users to adhere to a few simple rules. By using our service, you agree to:

Be Respectful: Treat everyone with kindness. Harassment, hate speech, bullying, and threats are strictly prohibited.
Keep it Clean: Do not share sexually explicit, graphically violent, or otherwise obscene content. This is a platform for conversation, not exploitation.
Protect Your Privacy: While you are anonymous here, be cautious about sharing personal identifying information like your full name, address, or phone number.
No Illegal Activity: Do not use the chat to promote, plan, or engage in any illegal acts. This will result in an immediate and permanent ban.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the random chat really anonymous?

Yes, to a high degree. We do not ask for your name, email, or any personal registration details. This allows you to chat freely without linking conversations to your real-world identity. For security and to prevent abuse, we do log IP addresses as outlined in our Privacy Policy, which is a standard practice for online services.

What if I encounter an inappropriate user?

Your safety is our priority. If you encounter a user who is being abusive, harassing, or violating our terms, please use the "Report" button immediately. This flags the user for review by our moderation team. After reporting, we strongly recommend you click the "Stop" button to instantly end the conversation and disconnect from that user.

Can I save my chat history?

No. To protect the privacy of all users and to encourage in-the-moment conversation, we do not provide a feature to save or export chat logs. Once you disconnect, the conversation is gone forever.

Why can't I choose my chat partner's gender or location?

The core of the ChatDesh experience is randomness and spontaneity, similar to the classic Omegle model. The connections are intentionally random to encourage conversations with people you might not otherwise meet. We believe this leads to more interesting and unexpected interactions.

What topics can I discuss?

You can discuss almost anything! From hobbies, movies, and music to deep philosophical questions or just what you had for lunch. The goal is open conversation. However, all discussions must adhere to our community guidelines. Please avoid illegal topics and be respectful of your chat partner.
