We're shut down right now in protest of Reddit's announced API changes, which will make moderation nearly impossible and kill 3rd party apps.
For a great explanation of what's going on, see r/techsupport's wiki: https://rtech.support/docs/meta/blackout.html
This is a place to find new texting friends. Text app/pic share app users are also welcome.
Kinds of information you are strongly encouraged to include in your post:
It's also not a bad idea to include any of the following:
The only rule is that you cannot include any contact/identifying information in your post. This is part of reddit's site-wide rules. Read more HERE, HERE, and HERE.
The other rule is that you cannot spam the sub. This will be defined in 2 ways:
Spam spam, the kind many have been used to for years - what is posted by bots, catfish, or enterprisers and often leads off-site for the purpose of doxing, scamming, harassing, advertising, selling, generating views/ad traffic, etc.
Posting too often. When this happens, a user generates too much attention to themselves without adding any value to the community, and they reduce the visibility of the posts of others. Henceforth, all users can post only once every 24 hours AND only if their last post is no longer on "hot" or "new."

Hey everyone,
A bit about me: I’ve always been someone with a range of interests that keep life interesting. I enjoy staying active with things like the gym, swimming, and hiking—mostly as an excuse to keep eating pizza, but hey, it’s all about balance, right? I’m also a big fan of sci-fi—whether it’s books, movies, or games, it’s a genre that never fails to pull me in (still waiting for the aliens to give us a hint they’re out there). I play games from time to time, and Doom has always been a favorite; I’m especially excited for the upcoming Doom: Dark Ages—as if I needed another reason to delay my productivity.
I used to play a few musical instruments, and while that’s more in the past now, it’s something I still look back on fondly (though my neighbors might be relieved). I’m also into movies and love watching different genres. Interstellar is at the top of my list, but I’m always open to exploring new films and discussing the ones that really resonate.
If you’re up for chatting about sci-fi, gaming, movies, or really anything else, feel free to reach out. I’m always open to a good conversation and looking forward to connecting with some interesting people. And no, I don’t bite…unless it’s pizza.
Hey! I’m hoping to meet new people and have some fun conversations about anything. I can be a bit shy at first, but once I’m comfortable, I’m really friendly and easy to talk to. Always up for making new friends, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to chat!
Hey! I'm a 31 year old female from Arkansas. I work as an oncology nurse. I'm half Filipino. I love sports, cooking, reading, the outdoors, and traveling. I have 2 German shepherds and 2 cats. I love horror movies and romcoms and have a diverse taste in music. I'm looking forward to meeting new friends! I have a strong gif game and I may or may not bombard you with TikTok videos.
Age.
Any age is fine; you can be any age, but once you start crossing over to 53, 56, and 63 years old, that is way too much, and yes, people have messaged me around that age, and it's why I say age on my introductions.
Location, and what else could we chat about besides the summary title that is given at hand?
I would love to chat with people from Europe more because. Europe also has landscape backgrounds that look like they came from a depressive atmospheric black metal band as well, haha. Europe is so rich in culture and history as well. Haven't listened to that kind of metal in ages. But it still reminds me of those albums, and I will say, though, Europe also reminds me of those folk album covers in the European lands that are dreary and somber, like in the dark gray winter with dead trees and a highly atmospheric landscape. As you can see, I do enjoy the gloomy, dreary, and somber-like settings that Europe provides. I love the medieval weapons, folk instruments, European markets, the raids, and, of course, the foods there. But this is all seen virtually by pictures or videos. But it still makes me happy to see such beauty. But that's okay if you're not from Europe; I will be okay if you're elsewhere. Also, speaking of folk, I really love folk music that is using traditional folk instruments. Examples.
Tagelharpa, the Näverlur, and a Vevlira (or Hurdy-Gurdy) Cow Horn, Lur, and Bone Flute, to name a few.
My methods of communication.
Tumblr and text messaging apps. If you're not willing to chat on one of these apps, it won't work out.
This is how I know you read my posts.
Please let me know if your town has owls or what your local wildlife has to offer in your town, or you could let me know your favorite element; mine would be air. Also, do you play chess, bake, cook, and what are your favorite hobbies? Let me know a little bit about you. :)
Don't message me if.
You don't like Sonic.
You're not a video gamer or will not participate in a conversation about video games.
You're very serious in nature, can't take jokes, and don't know what the word satire means or what satire comments are about. This has been a huge setback for texting new friends and has become problematic. I've had a lot of people sending messages that can't handle this kind of personality because the person doesn't know what that means.
You plan on giving suggestions on how to correct my posts, which has happened before. People are playing detective on my profile. Why are people downvoting my posts to zero?
Due to being trolled, I've turned off my comment notifications and will not be answering troll comments.
I remember getting trolled the other day; someone tried telling me where black metal was from and tried correcting me that I should've said North Sweden and Norway, right? xD It's like my old post said I like a variety of metal and folk music from Europe. Sweden and Norway are Europe. Which reminds me to say.
Speaking of grammar, don't bother with me. If you're looking for someone that knows how to communicate and use proper grammar without spell check, you will get annoyed, which many people have a big issue with. I also don't get along with people that are skeptical, as in, if you're not the type of person that is able to have conversations that are about mythology, Greek mythology, folklore, folktales, and other mythologies from around the globe, you would be wasting your time big time with me. There goes half of our conversations out the window, and he kisses them goodbye. I also couldn't mesh well if someone were to say so. Hades is a demon king? No, please don't go there at all. Hades is the Greek god of the underworld and not a demon king. This is what I mean by people that are skeptical. But the thing is you don't have to be spiritual or spiritual at all, and I will say that at the end of the post to show that I really mean what I say, because it's true. As long as you will let me text about all that, there is no issue, but in no way will that be the only thing we can converse about. From this post alone, my other posts on my profile and my comment sections, there are tons, and I mean tons, of things you can pull out of the bag to converse with me. But I can understand if you can't because of my poor grammar or being frustrated because you don't know what I'm trying to say or get what I'm saying. It's been a huge issue with people in real life and online. But I'm on the spectrum; this is very normal to have poor or very poor communication and socialization skills. I also probably wouldn't pair with you if you want someone to be on their phone a lot; it seems a lot of people miss this part on my profile in the Telegram group, but I can take 30 minutes to a few hours to reply. I'm spiritually tired lately, and I choose not to have my phone up my behind often, so if you need someone to text message you fast and quick, nope, I'm not the one.
Hey! My name is Connor and I'm 25 years old and I'm from the UK, England to be exact. I'm interested in science and maths and I have a masters in physics.
I also love music, particularly blues and rock, and I have been playing the guitar for about 9 years. I also enjoy reading and gaming. I play on PlayStation, so it'd be cool to have some gaming buddies too!
I'm also learning Spanish (around beginner/intermediate) so if you speak Spanish or are from a Spanish speaking country then that'd be cool to talk in Spanish sometimes! I'm actually moving to Madrid in the summer so it'd be nice to meet some people who live there.
It would be nice to meet some new people and chat every now and then. When I'm not at work my replies are relatively fast, however sometimes reddit doesn't send me notifications so apologies if I don't reply for a while.
So if you'd like to chat for a bit then feel free to message me 😊 tell me your age, gender and location (general not specific) when you message
So yea I'm a stay at home hubby and also a night owl so I'm just up bored all night and would enjoy a night owl friend to chat with, I'm a big nerd and love to game. So if you wanna be friends then just hit me up we can chat or you can rant or vent if you need to and I'll be down to listen, also love memes so send yours if ya wanna haha. All personalities are cool with me so don't be shy.

Music: country, rock, some rap, just a bit of everything really. Fav country is 90s-00s and fav artist is imagine dragons
Other interests are Lego building, outdoors, traveling, cars, and aviation.
Hit me up if you think we’d click and see where it goes.
Hi! I’m 26 and from Scotland 🏴 I’m looking to meet people and hopefully make some new friends! Happy to talk about anything, I enjoy learning about other peoples hobbies and interests
I am a HUGE horror fan, I love older music (mostly rock/heavy metal) I like gaming, football, urban exploring, and spending most of my free time with my dog 🐶 I work as an auto mechanic so obviously I have a strong interest in cars too
I’m pretty heavily tattooed, and always keen to see other people’s work and share my own too
Feel free to send me a message if you feel like we’d get along!
Hello everybody, my winter break has officially started and I’m off for 15 days, I don’t know what I am going to do during that time but it would be a great to meet somebody! I’m 30 year old, male and located in Europe. I live abroad, so it’s been quite difficult to make friends and especially keep them. The older I have gotten, the harder it has been to make new relationships. Anyways, I have been a huge fan of Formula 1 since I was 10, I’m into gaming but I don’t play as much as I used to. Currently, I play Marvel Rivals and EA 25 but I love campaign games, though I don’t have that much time to play them. I also love watching true crime docuseries but I haven’t been doing that for a while because I feel like I have seen the best ones available! I used to have motivation to do my other hobbies, such as reading and photography but I have lost all of it, trying to gain it back. I mostly listen to rock music, however I listen to whatever is good for my soul. My fav artists are Three Days Grace, Ghost, Bring me the Horizon and Halestorm. I actually don’t want to give away everything here so we have something to talk about.
I’ll be in my inbox, send a letter!
Hey all, I’m Vinny! I'll try to keep this short and sweet. After 10 years in the military, I’ve transitioned to full-time student life, which means I finally have time to game again—but not enough people to game with!
I’m into FPS, horror, shooters, OSRS, and I’m finally giving WoW a shot. Lately, I’ve been hooked on Marvel Rivals and always down to squad up!
Outside of gaming, I’m big into cooking, grilling, and fitness, and always up for a good chat—gaming-related or not.
If you’re looking for someone chill to game or just hang out with, hit me up!

Hi, and thanks for reading my post. I'm a pretty chill and laid-back guy looking for genuine friendships. Too often, I think people restrict themselves about what types of friends they seek, but I can honestly be friends with anyone. The only thing I require of any potential friend is to put equal energy into it - it goes nowhere if I am the only one doing it all. A digital friendship is fine if you are outside the USA, but for those of you who live here, I don't want to spend the whole friendship behind a keyboard - I will eventually want to meet and hang out and go on trips together! In my opinion, face-to-face time is essential for a friendship to grow.
Anyway, here a few of my interests:
- traveling
- reading
- exploring
- music
- movies
- hiking
- history
You don't have to have the same interests as me; I love getting to know people who have different interests.
I look forward to getting to know you and seeing if a long-term friendship ensues.
