I used to chill in csgo lobbies. Sometimes I would join a surf server and people would be rapping or just ranting about their life

    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

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

    Roblox.

    You can plan a terrorist attack or play one of the many sponsored games run by a child grooming group.

    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 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.
