Kordron: A Naming Language for Orcs, https://troypress.com/kordron-a-naming-language-for-orcs/ #Conlangs #Blaugust

Hey, there. We all know that there are countless cosy and nice communities on #Discord of all kinds that many of us found a lot of friends and (used to) spend a majority of our time socialising in. I used to be able to instantly find nice and welcoming communities about basically any topic – #conlangs, #games, #art, #queer stuff – many of which resulted in amazing friendships and great times. But since I've practically moved off Discord for everything but work, it's been getting lonely. People gradually lost touch, there are no more nightly voice chats, no more life updates, no more new friends, no more cosy community moments. If I'm being honest, the second I left Discord, I stopped making online friends altogether. The #Fediverse is really cool, but it's very rare for people to just text you and take it to DMs and become regular friends you talk to every day. Mostly because it's a social media platform and not a messenger. And that's kinda sad. So I will #AskFedi – does anyone here know any specific non-Discord-based cosy communities like the ones we used to have? Like, places to just hop into a chat and hang out in every night, #Minecraft servers where the folks actually know each other, queer friend and support groups, gaming spaces, hobby-based communities, and so on? I don't mind any medium whether it's #Matrix or #Mumble or Signal or anything else. I'm just yearning for that state of life where I had tons of potential new friends, communities and good times at the press of a button back then. The time you could just join 'something something cafe' you found on Disboard or whatever and immediately make friends with the local folks by just hanging out and posting a bit. (I'm looking for personal recommendations of communities to check out. I'm not looking for people to just direct me to public directories of Matrix channels or whatever, sorry. I am fully aware of those; but everything listed there usually are empty and inactive places that hardly see any authentic interaction between people ever because they were only created for the sake of existing on said software, but nobody actually uses them for fun)
