[1222] Move chatbox visibility to Safety
interested
CyberKitsune
Chatbox visibility to me feels like it has a lot more in common with other Safety toggles, such as user voice and user icon. I feel like it makes sense to bundle it up in safety, as I imagine some of the reasons you'd want to disable it may also be reflected in trust ranking.
If it was on by default, and somebody used to VRChat wanted to turn the bubbles off, it's likely they'd visit safety first as that's where you disable other similar aspects.
Having it this way, the default safety setting should also probably be enabled for all ranks by default, as new players to the game who are mute may not realize nobody will see their messages by default.

i feel like rather than an "all on/all off" chatboxes need a block per user option. Because you know some desktop user is gonna drop an N-bomb, then all users suffer because you have to turn off all text boxes to hide it. have it on by default, let you set it to friends only if you want, and Allow you to block it on a per-user basis for those that are toxic twats with their text.

Well all of the UI Options etc are mostly temporary for now. A lot of the things will be moved to the new Main Menu once that is out. I suppose this will be the same for the Chatbox.
