-I’m on a Discord server composed with people i know since a dozen years. Despite some heavy drama, this is the most perennial community i’ve ever frequented. We care heavily for eachother and they know some thing i never told to my own mother. We were first on a discussion forum then moved to discord when the site linked to the forum died.
-My sister’s friends. She is so close to them that they all became mine.
25 years ago I got into playing Unreal Tournament.
I still talk daily with some of the people from that community across several countries. We’ve never met, never will, but we’ve shared stuff that our real families don’t know.
