Maybe it’s worth looking on reddit? But to be honest, I’m not particularly fond of reddit, I don’t think it will be suitable for my task, but maybe I should give it a chance?

    Do you actually want to? My ability to maintain online friends or even a desire to bother faded with age.

    I hate to say Discord but…Discord. If I wanted to make online friends I’d jump in a local over 30’s channel in my own city, or a wider net via a co-op game group seeking channel. Emulation communities were my past haunts. Use your imagination from there I’m sure there’s someone catering to your specific online hobbies out there.

    I still occasionally talk to the small community chat members on https://goontu.be/ which is run by some SomethingAwful forum members. People submit videos and it’s a watch party. It could turn into something more, I see the opportunities, I just don’t want to anymore but my point is you could.

    Tldr: seek out small tribes. Too much noise on corpa social media. Too big.

      Very intriguing! I’ll need to check this out in more depth
