What other sites are you on?

I'm looking for new sites. The internet used to be so alive and vivid just 20 years ago.
Now it's bland and boring and monopolized.

So what other sites are there?
I'm not interested in the big monopolized sites like faceshit, tik tok, snapchat or twitter.

Myself I'm on here, Interpals and mewe.

Also: I'm not interested in apps.
I'm a PC guy. I need websites.
No, I'm not old and I do know how to use a phone.
I just don't like it. As a matter of fact I hate touchscreens and phones in general.

Got my first PC in 1986, baby!
And I'm sticking to good old fashioned keyboards and the option to tweak everything to my liking instead of being on restricted apps.

there are plenty of sites. For example Penpal World, wich was the very first pen pal site I went on. But I don't use it anymore since the last update they made is the most stupid update they ever made: if you already have an account, you must anyway verify your phone number, you must rewrite your profile text and more of that stupid shit. GlobalPenFriends, on wich a friend of mine got banned when he found out the administrator there has whole lists of fake profiles, so I went off derectly too. Penpal.me wich I never have been able to use, because always when trying to register, no matter with wich email adress, they say the same stupid thing "something went wrong, please try again later". And many others, wich seem not in use, and they all look like shit. My advice to you is: stay on penpal-gate and interpals, they're far the best pen pal sites.

This was not exactly helpful, but... thanks?

what is MeWe exactly?

A free speech social media platform with hundreds of groups you can join.
Everything from cooking to conspiracies to traveling.

Yay! Thanks!😃

No sweat, my dude.

sweat?

No problem.
You speak some Romanian, right ?
Nicio problema.

Got a funny story.
This Bulgarian dude was at the store in the US. He was an exchange student.
So he went out of the store and said "Bye" to the clerk.
The clerk replied "See you later, alligator."

He went home thinking: "Why did he call me an alligator? Is there something wrong with my face?"

Hey, at least that's better than "See you later, masturbator!"

Speaking of Bulgaria... got another fun story about a Bulgarian living in the US as an exchange student.
So he would speak to his father in Bulgaria in Bulgarian. Which sounds...Russian!

So he's flat mate was a real knuckle head.
He was like "Don't speak in that communist language. SPEAK AMERICAN!"
So he learned Navajo just to piss him off! XD

Where do hell do you get these stories???😂

I talk to people IRL and on the web

I'm on Global PenFriends and I have a Mewe but I haven’t been on it in a long time, I think I may go and get back on it. I stopped going to Mewe because I didn't really have any friends on there, and I got bored.

I didn't have any friends on there either 8 years ago, but through commenting and talking with people that changed over the years.
Now I got places to stay if I'm ever in America, Portugal or Brazil.

Wow that's awesome! I may get back on there

I use instagram and hipenpals, along with Second Life

Never heared of HiPenpals nor Second Life....

Hipenpals is a penpalling website, where as Second life is a kind of virtual world. They are not much famous but can be very interesting

That's good! 'cause I'm looking for things that are not commercial or owned by the assholes who wants to monopolize the web.
*giving google and meta a stern look*

Then it's good for you!😅😅

oh, dear! I like this dudes language 😛

Ya...he speaks his heart out! Doesn't fake anything.

yeah! He's a great friend 😛

Yup! Sounds like that!

and excellent at throwing truth bombs!

I live to give <3

Yup! Sounds like that!

As for 2nd life, I'm not looking for games to play in a virtual world 'cause they usually suck.
I remember when playstation had this virtual arena for people to meet they launched in 2007.
It was discontinued in 2013 'cause no one was ever on.

There's really nothing to do in these games other than just walk around and talk to people.

I got VR so I can just hang out there if I wanted digital socializing.
But that too is boring. I tried Rec Room in VR.

Bunch of kids running around yelling.
I need social media websites or penpal sites where I can have intelligent conversations and give and receive tips & tricks to all sorts of things.

Virtual playing worlds are really kids stuff.
I'm looking for communication with grown ups so anyone reading this:
SUGGESTIONS ARE VALUED!

But I'm gonna check out hipenpals.
Korean site?
Says "not secure" when I go to it, but there are many sites that gives me that without anything ever happening.

Thanks! Feel free to drop more sites you know of.
Just not anything commercial owned by global corporations or online virtual worlds.
It's just not my thing.
