Webrings were great. I met one of my best friends, a girl who literally changed the course of my life, because we were both writing poetry and publishing it on our personal webpages as teens.
There's a program called Hypothesis, it's a toolbar that uses its status as a non-site entity to add a comment section to any page from any URL you could possibly think of. It's hard to explain.
MMORPGs are an easy example, where people form recognizable identities and communities in game. An extension of this would be Second Life, and somewhat more recently, VRChat.
The irc warez scene was an odd community. People showed up for the hacked software and stayed for the friendly banter.
Sounds like being buddies with your drug dealer
Yeah, but you get the hacks first. Unlike having to watch 3 episodes of always sunny before you can leave with your dime bag of seeds and stems. ;)
More like hanging out at a swap meet, but with more trout slaps
More like befriending the other customers in the drug dealer's waiting room.
I have read about the Circles app. Have not tried it. Anyone with any experience?
Late 90s PC gaming. Even the simple in-game chat systems back in the days in games such as Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress and many others helped people meet, socialize, and form communities.
Met a lot of folk through Diablo II chat :-) it was nice and chill leveling with new friends
