I am not joking when I say that I thinked for hours about how do people find each other in 2025.

Currently, the world is in very weird state. People online are either using social video platforms or they are reading news or lurking in online forums in it's different shapes and forms.

Most chat platforms that I know had shut down and most alt social platforms are almost dead. Even Hackernews had started to see a lower amount of comments compared to previous years.

I want a serious answer, how should I find people online to talk to about anything really other than politics?

I've found multiple discords grow of people who're looking for connection but for me they grow so fast and so active that I kinda drop out. Used to join guilds in the games I played back in the day but those aren't really a thing like they used to be it seems.

Also having this issue, I have my few friends that I game with multiple times a week but outside of that I just can't find people to vibe with online let alone people who live close.

Just in case I forget to check here later, please reply if you have anything (or there's comments that I could read)
