# 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`.
