I remember going on Omegle and talking to some guy only in high school musical lyrics and honestly we ended up having quite a deep conversation

i remember talking with someone on omegle for hours one night (when i was like 13 or 14) and we had a really great conversation just about life and feelings and i was chasing a conversation like that ever since, only to drown in a sea of “A/S/L?”s

So real. I had so many great conversations on there during times when I was lonely. Haven't used it in years, too late now 😮‍💨

If it wasn’t for this show I wouldn’t have had the opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection with camp friends❤ also. rip Omegle gone but not forgotten mainly because of the trauma

Me and my friends used to love hanging out on Omegle as teens during sleepovers in like 2009-2011. I mean, there was some deeply inappropriate stuff we came across but we also had some really fun and surprisingly deep conversations too.

I vividly remember using Omegle when I was.. probably 11-15 years old, I haven't touched the site in years (I'm 23 now). I saw things I shouldn't have. Did things I shouldn't have. I had great experiences, but also plenty of bad ones, and inappropriate ones. There are definitely creeps out there who have pictures of 11/12 year old me who didn't know any better, and they knew that. Part of me will miss the fun stuff, because there were definitely HILARIOUS things that came from this site, but the bigger part of me is happy that it's gone- way too many creeps are on it, and as someone who has siblings who are around the age I was of when I used the site, I'm glad they won't be exposed to that! (Even though there are definitely other bad places and creeps everywhere..)

I love Omegle's shade at tiktok at the end. The idea of meeting new people is nice... but my anxiety says noooo..... They've got a point about active participation though

I mean yeah ultimately people have proved time and time again that they cannot and will not be trusted with total freedom. This [gestures at all the awful predators on Omegal] is why we can’t have nice things. This is why the innocent are punished along with the guilty because we as a society have decided that the consequences of the trust we need to have to have a totally open internet isn’t worth it. Tbh I do think it’s crazy that someone can sue Omegal for meeting their predator when they were 11 on the site when they broke the TOS to be on the site.
