Not exactly a fav but I’ll always remember when Omegle was brand new. It was before they had video and it wasn’t full of bots. I was probably around 11 or 12 and I had a convo with someone I vehemently disagreed with some or other topic about. We were friendly tho and continued talking on AIM (friendly, never more) and at some point family came up and he explained how things that my father had done to me was abuse and showed me rainn.org. It was such a huge revelation ofc and led to me telling my family and getting my dad prosecuted. That’s why I like discord sometimes I get that old feeling of genuine convo.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. How brave you must be to have dealt with that.
Wow, what happenstance that you got help in this way. I'm sorry to hear you went through that, but so glad to hear you were empowered with the knowledge to break the cycle of abuse.
