Clubs and live chat rooms are not a finished social network. What works today: friend codes, public profiles, and comments. Everything else is labeled preview.
Guest vault — sign in so this identity is yours. 0 games in the library.
Publish your Glicko and add friend codes. The global board only lists people who opted in — no ghost GMs.
Local stats, rating history, and a public /u page you can publish.
Post notes, games, positions. Real instance posts — no fake likes from ghosts.
Direct notes between display names. Block locally. Not E2E.
Create public clubs on this instance (file store). Private = invite-only later.
Comments on guides and published games. Useful notes, not a social feed simulator.
