For anyone looking for a place to chat with fellow old Web/Internet enthusiasts, stop by the IRC chatroom #Neocities on IRC.Rizon.net ! Unlike the failing proprietary spyware platform, discord, that is so often pushed on Neocities by misguided folks, IRC is a time-tested and independent medium of communication from the early days of the Internet that still enjoys much usage today!

Two excellent articles on why everyone should avoid Discord like the plague, one from Spyware Watchdog here on Neocities, and the other from the legendary free software guru Richard Stallman. https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/discord.html https://stallman.org/discord.html
Forgot to include links to the two best IRC clients, for anyone who does not have one: HexChat https://hexchat.github.io/ and Irssi https://irssi.org/
glad to hear! been amazed at how many here seem to love discord. awful platform.
@mordzine Agreed! It's especially glaring given how many people here claim to miss the spirit of the old Internet. Just reeks of hypocrisy and intellectual laziness... ):
