Ask HN: What's a simple easy way to chat online with someone professionally?
I made a new acquaintance online who I want to chat with. Right now we are talking on Twitter because there seems to be no other way to chat?
Here are the other options and why I am not using them:
- Email: Don't want to give out my email to someone I just met since it has my fullname and is permanent.
- Whatsapp, Telegram: Requires a phone number.
- Discord: Dear God, no.
- Slack: Read above.
- LinkedIn: Mountains of spam.
All I want is a simple clean (substack like clean) chat interface with mobile apps where I can create an account really fast with a username and is professional looking so I can talk to people regarding slightly more serious topics instead of memes.

Is there any such service?
