You're not wrong. Different strokes. There are friendly people who want penpals. Anyone remember that term? I'm not into chat, either, and I don't want penpals. I've had to tell a few people I don't do chat.
But it's the crooks and the weirdos. I'm going to have to tell the noobs who ask about posting their pin that they will get some interesting, fun messages if they do, but they are going to get some they didn't want and didn't invite. As I say, I used to say I've never had a problem. Can't say that anymore.
I'm getting them on yahoo messenger, as well, and I'm going to take that off my profile, too, now that I've remembered.
The spammers and scammers have moved into instant messengers.
