Chat disappears after the game, unless someone screenshots (so it's 10x less private than a Snapchat DM or a 1v1 game). But this is orders of magnitude less public than Twitter.

Couldn't agree more, honestly. However, I had to acknowledge that the parent had a point in that they were theoretically comparable.

Lots of people stream games, and lots of people watch those streams. Anything you say in public chat (or in team chat when your teammate is streaming) can be viewed by anybody who watches the stream or watches a recording of the stream. The potential audience is far greater than just "the ten players in the game at the moment".

This happens even in 1v1 games...
