Is klango still alive? If it is, klango.net is a good place to meet and chat.
Otherwise, I'm personally not in favour of sites for the blind. Pick an interest other than your blindness, and find a forum or website devoted to that. It's a much much better way to find interesting people you'll probably like! You're already on Reddit, so why not go looking for subs about your hobby, favourite book or movie, etc?

I would never recommend Klango to anyone. I can't go in there without feeling like half of my brain cells were just murdered. There are no mods there now, and the people there are mostly 12 year olds yelling at each other. It used to be a pretty nice community but it's terrible now.

Really? Sad to here. I used to be one of the mods in charge of the radio media catalogue thing, actually. But university and things got busy, and I just stopped contributing. I'd heard a year or two ago it was going to be shut down, and nothing more, so kind of assumed it might have been. Guess it went the same way as The Zone, then? That seems to be a pattern for all blindness exclusive communities, and is one of many reasons I don't really like them.
edit to add: Oh, man. My old Klango blog still exists. Random posts about updates to streams, and then switches without explaination to posting the results of several of my failed Experimentations with computer-aided/computer-prompted dadaist text generation. It's really, really horrible. Plus, the fact I decided it would be better without explaination makes it look like I just went insane out of nowhere. I mean, the fact I decided to post that anywhere proves that I obviously did. Stress and 2 or 3 hours of sleep a night for over a year does strange, strange things to a man.

There actually use to e a dating site for the blind I believe, but can't remember the name at the moment. Other than that, I think there's a site called the Zone. I've never actually used it, but I think it's sort of a social media type website for blind people.

Yeah, it's at zonebbs.com. Unfortunately, most of the mods...don't over there. So not sure I'd send teens to what has kind of become similar to the blind 4chan. Or at least that's where it seemed headed when I last logged in 4 years ago. Maybe it got better?
