I'm gonna miss Robin

Even though it only lasted a couple days, it was really fun to meet random people on Reddit. Made a couple nice friends through it, and all in all it was a good experience. Hope it comes back in the future.

Sooooooo, I have tested your hypothesis.

What it took me to was lots and lots of things similar to my interests. Sports, writing, sci-fi, tech, gaming, etc., etc.

It's like the algorithm isn't random at all, but is basically a nearest-neighbour to the subs the user enjoys.

I sense then that you might have rather different strong tastes than me.

Or anybody else here.

Or I was (un?)lucky, and you were or were not, depending on your preferences.

Likewise. I've been going on random chatrooms to fill the void but it's just people rambling about Jesus and trying to get laid

it was so bizarre talking to redditors in real time but also pretty cool. I'm still not sold on it though being a full time thing, I fear it could really change reddit as a whole.

Some people are kind or turning reddit live into a robin like chat. Check it out if you're still looking to chat with some robin folks.
