i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

Just depends on your friends I guess lol, much like any other communication platform meant for smaller groups

Well my friends only use insta and snapchat and i can call or text them . Chat rooms are for the chat with internet randos fun or atleast it used to be now IRC is dead and i can't even get any answers there.

Meanwhile my friend group mainly hangs out in discord, we have several text channels for specific discussions, and often hang out in the voice channels after work to talk and play games together.

I have several discord channels that are more geared toward specific interests, but I mainly use those for specific answers, rather than as a place to chat with people.
