Show HN: Bored People Chat – Anonymous global chat room

According to Hacker News, a developer has created Bored People Chat—a minimal, anonymous global chat room inspired by the early internet. Unlike earlier anonymous platforms, it has no sign-up, no ads, no bots, and includes AI-powered moderation. There's only one public room; direct messages are disabled. The creator built it after noticing people seeking connection online—some newly relocated, some just lonely—drawing on memories of old chat rooms where deep friendships formed between strangers. Early regulars are returning, and safety through AI-assisted moderation remains the priority.
