    the way i see it, “folks” can refer to a more traditional group of people, most likely rural, and you wouldn’t call nobles or people of other high status “folks”.

    But you’d call nobles or high status people “chat”?

      I meant more that chat implies it could be literally anyone because it’s anonymous. Like when the game’s developer or some guy with 100k followers suddenly drops in to a little guy’s stream. You wouldn’t know unless they announced themselves lol
