    Can someone explain in short what problem people had about Omegle?

    Was it that you can say things (and show things) there to a random person without any good possibility to trace it back to you because it’s anonymous and more “temporary” then something like Lemmy for example?

    Or was it just a witch hunt without any real reasonable structure?

      People argue that despite its moderation, it was pretty vulnerable to exploitation and sex abuse

        Ok, sounds like the standard claim for everything to me to be honest.

          It’s crazy to sometimes stop to think about how many nice things we could have if it wasn’t for pedophiles. Not a joke either, actually give it some thought.

            A lot of people also use pedophiles as a basis for their nefarious plans. “Protect the children” is a rallying cry of the alt right, despite how many child rapists exist in the cult.
