I'm interested to hear what others think on this.
Personally I would be against it. The random shower thoughts some people often throw out with no context, and no real care about anyone else engaging with them, are a problem. They diminish quality of conversation and just generally irritate people for the same reason it would be irritating to have anyone interrupt a conversation to blurt out something only they care about, without any thought to the person they're interrupting.
My concern would be that creating a separate channel would just be a repeat of the memechat issue. It wouldn't actually work to contain the problem and would attract a disproportionate amount of people who have no real interest in contributing or fostering a community. Just in having their own thoughts yelled at everyone else. Which, as with memechat, served to lower overall quality and drove away people who wanted to actually engage.
