Nah, "chat" is talking to a specific, present group of people, and is used in lieu of writing a text chat. It's not like a film actor speaking to the audience, who has no way of responding. Even so, any terms used in breaking the fourth wall would still be second person, ability to respond and presence aren't a requirement here (e.g. you'd use "you" in letters, and the reader is absolutely not present).
Chat, I've found more youthspeak that I can use incorrectly and be cringe.
Skibidi!
How do you do, fellow kids?
Ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da- dub-dub
I'm down, I've got the 411, and you are not going out and getting jiggy with some boy, I don't care how dope his ride is.
