You can take a look at Mero.chat. Itβs a chat-with-strangers service. You earn more features the more you use it.
Find an MMO that runs on whatever potato you have or can afford. Then join a guild. Then participate in raiding.
That can potentially kill a few birds with one stone.
Osrs is great for chatting with random strangers.
World 1/2 varrock west bank, f2p draynor willows, fishing spot at barb village. Any skilling spot usually has people chatting while they do their very afk skills.

There's an app I use called hellotalk which is mainly for language exchange. I use it to practice Chinese, but they're are literally thousands of Chinese users who want to just talk English with you. If you are active on the app and fill out your bio you will be bombarded with chat requests. It's fun, and I hope it works for you
Emerald Chat is apparently the new Omegle alternative
Canβt get any chats on there
here? or irc?
Whatβs irc?
it's kinda like discord/slack, but it's a fully open standard, what everyone used before discord/slack. many networks and channels are still very active, libera.chat is one of those networks.
NOIYS sorta counts ? Functions like text-only bulletin board type thing ?
Tends to have lotta kids on there tho if that's concern for you
