I Miss Talking to Strangers Online. Where Now?

Remember when talking to strangers online felt like exploring the world from your room? That’s what Omegle used to be for me. No pressure, no usernames just raw, random connection.

I recently came across omegal, and I’ve been testing it out for the past few days. Not every session is perfect, but I’ve had a few unexpectedly deep convos. A girl from Sweden and I ended up talking about language learning for almost 40 minutes!

It reminded me why I used to love random video chats. There’s something refreshing about being able to drop in, chat, and leave without friend requests or timelines.

Do you think there’s still value in platforms that prioritize anonymity and spontaneity? Or are those days gone for good?
