Hey. It's not dead, you just need a different platform. Viby is what I've been using since Omegle shut down — it's
Anonymous Chat with Strangers, text only, no video, no signup. The pairing is fast, usually under five seconds for me. Viby is text-focused on purpose, which I actually prefer because it filters out a lot of the people who came to other sites for weird reasons. The site says they have around 50K conversations a day and people from over 120 countries, and I can confirm matches feel international — I've talked to folks in Brazil, Poland, Indonesia in one session. Viby works on phone and desktop, no install. Just go to viby.chat and hit Start Chat.
