Even though I'm technically not hanging out with people, I like to occasionally look through some of the different sites on Neocities to see what cool things people have made.
Discord and the osrs grand exchange w390 or dustbowl tf2
Matrix, lemmy, mastodon, mumble, im not a fan of irc I have an xmpp, i dont use it often tho I also have signal for irls
Ive used discord, trying to run away from it
If anyone wants to chat im down my contact site lol (idk if thats self advertising)
Hey I'm here for it. Thanks for the link--I'll add you to my feed.
Why not IRC? I mean, if you want private conversation, then that's not your place. But for a community? Not sure I see a huge problem with it. I love the idea of XMPP as a better IRC, but I never found a place to hang out there. What do you think?
Mostly YouTube, Hacker News, and some mailing lists. I do join some random forums to discuss non-tech hobbies like English writings, games, or classical music.
cohost, tildes, lobste.rs, rss feed reader
Just checked out cohost. Looks cool and thanks for the tip.
Here and YouTube via revanced while it lasts.
I check insta occasionally. I also have an artist profile for insta so it's a double whammy. Still spend less than 5 mins there though.
Everywhere else sucks rn.

Discord, discuit, twitch, feeder (foss rss feed)
Woah I've never heard of discuit before. Looks really cool. How long have you been on there?
Since the reddit api exodus. It's a small community, but feels very tight knit. It's also the least toxic place out of those I listed, excepting rss.
I refuse to click on the reddit link the creator posted describing what discuit is. Looks like a non-federated appless Kbin?

I second Discuit. It was started in response to the Reddit API shenanigans last June. It seems to have avoided the spam and instability that have plagued Lemmy (at least so far).
Almost everything with people I know in real life, including family and housemates, is on Signal group chats. That's where the good cat pictures go.
Lemmy, Matrix and Piped.
