+# ChatMessages
+
+ChatMessages are the messages sent in 1-on-1 chats. They are similar to
+`Note`s, but the addresing is done by having a single AP actor in the `to`
+field. Addressing multiple actors is not allowed. These messages are always
+private, there is no public version of them. They are created with a `Create`
+activity.
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+ "actor": "http://2hu.gensokyo/users/raymoo",
+ "id": "http://2hu.gensokyo/objects/1",
+ "object": {
+ "attributedTo": "http://2hu.gensokyo/users/raymoo",
+ "content": "You expected a cute girl? Too bad.",
+ "id": "http://2hu.gensokyo/objects/2",
+ "published": "2020-02-12T14:08:20Z",
+ "to": [
+ "http://2hu.gensokyo/users/marisa"
+ ],
+ "type": "ChatMessage"
+ },
+ "published": "2018-02-12T14:08:20Z",
+ "to": [
+ "http://2hu.gensokyo/users/marisa"
+ ],
+ "type": "Create"
+}
+```
+
+This setup does not prevent multi-user chats, but these will have to go through
+a `Group`, which will be the recipient of the messages and then `Announce` them
+to the users in the `Group`.
