Pull up a chair; there is no performance required
#Café is the low-pressure, sext-free room for ordinary conversation on an adult network. Keep flirting, sexting, porn, nudes, and explicit roleplay in the rooms built for them. Say hello when you have something to add, read for a while, or return to see who remembers your nickname.
Talk immediately or read the room first. IRC has room for both habits, and silence does not need a profile status to explain it.
