:marseylibations: Omegle shut down, for real. :marseyitsover:

Apparently this lawsuit was the breaking point.

Foid decided 10 years later to sue the site that allowed her and her abuser to meet. Not sure how omegle is responsible for the actions of the abuser. However, it doesn't matter because it seems omegle doesn't have the means to fight the battle and decided to close shop. RIP.

Here's an excerpt from the founder's final thoughts. This hit me pretty hard and kinda sums up the noticeable decline of the internet.

I worry that, unless the tide turns soon, the Internet I fell in love with may cease to exist, and in its place, we will have something closer to a souped-up version of TV – focused largely on passive consumption, with much less opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection.

Unironic seriouspost: this is a really fun website and I garner an embarrassing amount of genuine joy from this place. Also, you're all r-slurs. I hope it lasts awhile longer.
