VRchat. You don’t even need VR. You can play it on your desktop free on steam. Met my best friends there.

The only correct answer.
It may be not as random as others, but it is pretty cool
Hexbears are very chatty.
discord is what mostly everyone’s on these days but it’s a shitty proprietary platform
there are some on irc…
IRC depends on channel and time of day
Some channels are pretty active

Roblox.
You can plan a terrorist attack or play one of the many sponsored games run by a child grooming group.
My kid and their friends would go on there to find pedos and report them to mods
Say what you will about Roblox, but I have to respect, if nothing else, the fact that they’re kindof an intellectual-property-optional zone. It’s unlikely you can think of a video game that there isn’t a super-shitty rip off of on Roblox.
I had a lot of fun with this one.
What’s on your mind, stranger?
IRC
I love IRC mostly for linux and tildeverse stuff but what I really want to find is a good star trek fan channel on IRC i tried creating some on a few networks but unlike field of dreams if you build it they don’t always come.
Omegle or Chatroulette
Omegle
Gramps, they shut down 2 years ago
Shut it down it was the shit when it first came out. Damn times have come and gone.
What’s this?
There are new versions with extremely similar names.
Are any of those official successors?
Just about any defunct online service sees a dozen knockoffs of even more questionable quality than the original (for those into manga, think what happened to the site batoto after being sold). But it still remains that if you go to omegle.com, you get the defunct page and an explanation. Typing it into search engines did give exactly one that I know is legitimately a chatting service (ome.tv), but also are trying to act as if they are the original sites, some seemingly using templates and pointing to different apps to direct download their apks and the like.
I think suggesting they’re the same as the original (which was grimy, and full of sex pests, but the site itself didn’t pose such blatant infosec issues) is disingenuous imo
Isn’t Omegle dead?
Is this not real?
Hello!
