Yeah it's substitutable for "y'all" in the sample usage.
Or if you use proper english, "you," which is both singular and plural. Many languages have a specific second person plural, such as the Spanish ustedes (or vosotros in Spain and speaking informally), so those could be directly substituted for "chat."
A fourth person, if it exists, would have to somehow refer to a "nothing" without giving it an entity, because that's the only gap between first, second, and third person pronouns.
There's no such thing as a "proper" form of a language
