Reconstruction of Events
The main group chat was active. The main group chat had reached a level of activity where several members felt that a secondary space was needed to process the main chat.
The secondary space was created. The secondary space immediately began discussing things that would have been easier to say in the main chat but carried different social costs there.
A message was composed in the secondary space. A message was sent. The message was not sent to the secondary space.
The Problem with Side Chats
A side chat solves one problem, which is: too many people seeing what you actually think.
A side chat creates a second problem, which is: two chat windows that look similar at speed.
The second problem does not announce itself until after the send button has been pressed.
Status
The situation is ongoing. One ambiguous reply is allowed to stand. Others are copying the ambiguity to avoid commitment.
Someone will eventually need to summarize the main chat, the side chat, and the events following the accidental send. This will be written in a long voice note that nobody will fully listen to.
The side chat has a third chat now.
