When i joined steam, i still was a kid evolving into an edgy teenager and obviously i was broke asl and didn't have money to buy games and asking my parents for money to buy them was outta question. But as i grew up, i started paying attention to the steam communities, market, discussions and all that stuff but i couldn't seem to get my way around steam groups because all that where "within my reach" (the ones from people i had added as friends) were inactive, or had 3 people or were made to trade CSGO items.
From time to time i joined some groups because of they had a funny name or just to have some funny group to display on my profile, but i never really thought of them as a "group" of people until i joined one called "literate gamers" which is kinda ironic but is dead apart from the fact that from time to time someone sends a message.
That got me thinking, how many groups with active people are? I really like the idea of chatting with some random people, it reminds me of MSN messenger in a way, plus my friends aren't into games stuff that much and i don't really talk with people about the topic, so i thought it would be nice to have people to do it from time to time. If you know any, it would be nice to know !!

I think most people just use Discord for that.

On Steam, to avoid bots and random trolls, groups with active chats are generally a bit more specific and use private chat rooms. A review group I'm an admin in has a separate chat room for the group's many reviewers, for example.

for that kinda thing, discord and reddit are better, discord fulfills the community, conversations stuff like that
and reddit is where you: ask questions, share interesting stuff, and respond to other people's interesting posts

if you want a community with active chats go DISCORD
if you want to browse for interesting conversations do REDDIT
