I grew up on forums / IRC / IMs, later transitioned to Myspace, then Twitter / Facebook / Tumblr / Instagram. I had a lot of fun over the years, it definitely saddens me that I can't get the things I liked about those experiences back.

Check out the forums again, they are still around in a lot of cases and sometimes more active than what you'll find on reddit.

I only discovered IRC a year ago, and now pretty much all my social life is there) With just a bit also existing in XMPP MUCs)
