Are internet chat rooms still a thing??

Remember when you could chat in chat rooms, and have chats over the microphone ?
All that exists on Discord now. And no I don't remember that, I was so young.
@Trex8181 There are a lot of servers for a lot of things.
@Trex8181 there are. I'm on a few that are for old goats like me. I even ran one for a while for nerds in my age bracket called "Millennial Falcons" lol you just have to look them up. Here is a link to a place where you can find servers https://disboard.org

@Trex8181 I don't actively use it but I'm turning 40 on the 27th and I've used it

aren't we in one now?

I would think this is a chat room of sorts. I’ve never used one, so what is the difference? @DeluxedEdition

@Carissimi This is more like a message board. You post something and wait for someone to see it. Chat rooms are instant messaging in real time.

Oh, thanks. I’ve not used one. @SW-User

@deadgerbil Fuck I am old. I met my first IRL GF in a chat room as a teenager.

I miss the chat room days. I feel the internet is worse now in many ways.

Like using stand alone chat interfaces like Yahoo Chat, Virtual Places, and Paltalk? Yeah, I think Paltalk is the only survivor, but just barely.
Trex8181 · 41-45, M
@Jessmari Yeah paltalk is still around, but I meant like chat rooms you can use on a web browser.
Jessmari · 41-45
@Trex8181 Yes, but I wouldn't trust them now a days. They are far too easy to exploit.
Not really. There's nothing with a moderator, real time has been a problem unless you lean conservative since 2010.
No googling anything to find it again, plenty shadow bans...

Yep. Try wireclub.com. There’s generally 300-400 people online at any given time.

I've never really used them but I'm sure they still exist.

I prefer voip fps gaming, chat while shooting at people... 🤔
I am in a disability chat group. Nice people.
I don't. I have no idea. I've never heard of it.
th3r0n · 41-45, M
They have tons of apps for that now

Chat rooms with many people became confusing to keep up with. Emails and messaging aren't really all that different if two people are on at the same time and stick with the conversation. Just how I see it.

IRC never went anywhere for starters.
