    How do people even have online friends, I only have occasional chats with strangers on Reddit or Lemmy but I wouldn’t call anyone a friend let alone meet them in real life

      I think the easiest answer is to play online games with a mic until you meet someone you click with then make a discord and grow it. That’s what I did when I had online friends at least.

        Yeah that sounds good, but English isn’t my first language and I’m not that good at any games. Still worth a shot

      I have a solid squad of 6 that have been playing Xbox together for 15 years. We’re all friends scattered across the country and have never met IRL.

      How do you call someone you have known thru irc, skype and now discord, for 20+years, but never met in life? Those strangers probably knows things my family does not
