I used to love the unpredictability of Omegle. You’d never know if the next chat would be 10 seconds or 2 hours long. It felt like pure human interaction—no filters, no profiles.
When it shut down, I figured the random video chat era was over. But someone pointed me toward
omegal, and I figured why not try it? Surprisingly, it delivered that spontaneous feel I missed.
Sure, not every convo is amazing, but I did get into a debate about AI with someone from Brazil and a super chill discussion about food with a guy in Canada. That randomness is what I missed most.
Do you think there’s still space for these types of platforms in today’s hyper-curated social media world? Can we still just talk to strangers with no expectations, no follow-ups, no judgment?
I’d love to hear what sites you’re using now and if you’ve found any other platforms that come close to the magic Omegle used to offer.
