> how do people randomly connect to talk now?

Just getting online used to place you in a small enough pool that making connections was easy -- the fact that you were online in the first place gave you something in common.

Any single online platform has far too many users (and spammers, bots, trolls, grifters, etc.) to make it a good place to meet friends.

Maybe IRC would be a good idea.
