Hey everyone, I’m a 21 year old Gen-Z guy and I was wondering if there are any good positive spaces online to socialize.

Because I’m pretty lonely and I feel like the majority of internet places is negative, hateful and racist and as a sensitive person that really worsens my depression.

I tried social apps like Clubhouse and Discord but I feel like most people there are very weird and negative. I wonder how is it that most of the internet is like that. Does that actually make these people happy? For me I noticed that there are people with good/positive energy that make me motivated and people with negative energy that take away my energy and motivation. But maybe I’m the only one feeling like this?

I wonder if there are any online spaces or chatrooms that are positive and have good vibes preferably with more people around my age.

    This is a pretty specific recommendation that might not apply to your situation, but if you’re into gaming (at any level), I highly recommend No Man’s Sky and its communities on reddit and Lemmy. The people there are the most welcoming and friendly I’ve ever encountered in the context of gaming, and finding new friends to co-op with is easy. From there, you can get to know people more and chat in non-gaming contexts.
