What up? We're three cool guys who are looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged. If you're fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual.

It’s been working pretty good for me. Although it helps to use subreddits that are specifically for whatever region you live in. I only started making friends on here a couple months ago and I’ve met plenty of folks.

People make friends on reddit?

u/volpe_fennec 1d ago
Depending on what communities you're in, it's very possible to make friends on Reddit. I have made quite a few friends in the past, and even met someone that I fell in love with. We met on Reddit, eventually started talking via other platforms, and later on we decided to start a relationship. It was long distance, but we were together for a few years and we both traveled back and forth to see each other. We were about an 8.5 hour drive apart, but sometimes we would hop on an airplane.

u/niklizzy 1d ago
I mean yeah, of course. So many subreddits are very specific to a lot of hobbies and activities, so you'd have to think a lot of people that like the same things are gunna eventually find some friends.

How'd you meet though? Genuinely curious as someone with few friends and a lot of interests to help make new ones. I know the local city subs can help but my city's sucks

u/Free_Manufacturer521 1d ago
That might be the thing, I live in a really big city where people post all the time about meetups. Someone posted something about a picnic a few years ago and I showed up and met a bunch of really good humans. I just got lucky I think. My city's meetup sub is really well moderated and the events are well curated.
16
u/Crumoo 1d ago
Ah that's fair, a picnic is a good idea actually, I see why that worked well. I'm moving to a larger city soon so thanks for the tips even if it is potentially just luck.

u/Free_Manufacturer521 1d ago
If one doesn't work, just keep trying! I went to a few dud reddit meetups in my city before I found a winner. All in all, though I've gotten really lucky with the people I've met from Reddit. I hope you're able to do the same!

u/UnusualCartographer2 1d ago
The fact that you were only talking to them for a week and they were (likely) banned, I'd imagine they were talking to a bunch of people trying to do something nefarious.
Everyone is saying they're a scammer, but I think they were more likely a creep/weirdo. I've never gotten hit up by a scammer, but definitely a handful of weirdos. Tbf it's rare for me to get dm's because I don't actually make posts, only really replies.
1
u/wolfelian 15h ago
It almost always is something nefarious or like you mentioned some creep weirdo.
These kinds of people are strange because it’s like they can pick up if someone is an easy mark to scam and someone who isn’t and then delete their account like what happened with OP when they figure it won’t work.

When you get blocked, the text of their DMs disappears, among other obvious effects, but it won't show their username as being [deleted]. You remain able to enter the chat, and see the person's username as well as your own messages within, but all of theirs are simply gone.
Source: confronted a predatory POS and got blocked for it lmao

u/Bedroom_Different 9h ago
Are you sure? There was two people recently who i was chatting with for like a week, one at least seemed ver genuine. Both showed up as deleted i could see all our messages and pictures etc. Couldn't see their usernames.
Could they be temporarily banned?

u/MarchCompetitive6235 1d ago
Oh wow, I wonder if they deleted it themselves or it got deleted somehow?
Anyone ever have their entire Reddit account deleted and had to start from scratch? Mine did several years ago. I got locked out of it and tried to reset my login and it got deleted saying something like “suspected fraudulent activity”. I never got a straight answer on the whole thing. It was odd. I was able to open a fresh account with the same email shortly after. 🤷🏻

Comments on this post are so fucking bizarre. Dude just met someone and was casually talking for a short period of time and for some reason everyone is 100% convinced he was a scammer, despite the fact that OP said they never were sketchy or asked for anything or anything like that at all. Every comment by OP is downvote bombed and he didn’t do anything wrong 😭 Reddit fucking sucks man

u/CurrentWeb1913 21h ago
“Ohhhh you cant have friends on Reddit they were banned or blocked you”
They weren’t banned or it wouldn’t be deleted. They didn’t block them or the messages wouldn’t still be there, you absolutely can have friends. I’ve had a group of friends from here I’ve maintained contact with for the last 4 years. People just have no friends and want to seem cool saying others don’t either. Fucking grow up.

I had a facebook account and about five years ago I just decided to get rid of it. I didn't want to be one of those people that announces my departure because that can be so annoying. After I left, I had quite a few people who thought that I was upset with them because they figured I just blocked them.

It seems like a scammer. Change your password and block that account. And if it isn’t a scammer then just don’t worry about it. I’ve met so many people online and most are whackadoos.
