Some of the best parts of the old internet weren’t polished feeds or follower counts—they were the random, unplanned conversations that made you feel connected for a moment.

That feeling mostly disappeared. Social media is optimized for ads and endless scrolling, not people. Omegle is gone. And the web feels a little emptier.

We built StrangerMeet to bring it back:

One tap, one real conversation—text, voice, or video.

If it matters, continue later. If not, move on.

No algorithms. No followers. Just people.

We don’t think the internet should only be about content—it should be about connection.

Curious: does anyone else miss the randomness, or was it only a phase?
