Which communities are good for finding some people to talk to whether its out of boredom, loneliness, or a need to vent? (lemmy.world)

I used to be in r/lonely and similar subs on reddit but I've been shadowbanned for no good reason.

Where can I find some people here to talk with me when things get rough?

Thanks :)

First of all, good idea to get help on tackling issues. Second, i still think you might benefit much more from a chat than a forum. A safe space where your opnion does not need to be "well rounded" to be engaged in a respectful manner will do much more good than a public thread. Again, in my opinon.

In any case, good luck.

Do you know of any good places to chat then? I've never really looked into those places

Whole platforms to be honest. Since you're already out of corpo land, lets keep you out. Matrix is the best I can think of since it combines a lot of positives. I dont know other decentralized group chats except maybe IRC. You can download apps for matrix on matrix.org, apps for irc you will find on your favorite search engine or if youre a linux user, the software store. Mobile phones and tablets of course have them too.

Then you check for your topics. Mental health, specific neurological things, interests, etc. Go from there.
