Yeah I tried a discord group called Gamers Who Chill: DFW but it tended to skew to collage kids or teens. Didn't feel comfortable engaging. As i didn't want to come off like a creepy old dude by talking to kids.

    I wanted to give a second vote for discord. I'm in several channels that aren't for videogames but for my other hobbies, and things like age/gender never even really come up because everyone is there to talk about whatever said hobby is. Then again, I do most of my communication through text and not voice and I suppose that can make a difference when dealing with the younger crowds.

    Yeah i do that mainly with the tildeverse IRC channels and while fun to have a quick chat with a stranger it seems for me those interactions never cross the gap to become a genuine connection beyond talking in IRC or Discord.

    You mean you hang out with them and they just feel mundane.

    More i say hi they say hi we talk about a topic then they go away. Like where you talk to an anonymous screen name an don't know anything about the person behind it. You enjoy the conversation much like how I enjoy talking with everyone on lemmy but that connection doesn't turn into a connection where im added to an invite list at that person's wedding or graduation. Like you would with a friend group.
