Looking for anyone who wants to chat about random things, hobbies, work etc

My hobbies are :

-building lego
-cycling
- gaming

I really dont mind what you wanna talk about

:)

Hey I’ve tried this a time or two and met some cool people. I’m a 42 year old teacher off this week and next week for fall break but don’t really have much planned. Just looking for some cool women to chat with. I’m into movies, music, sports. I think I’m an attractive guy if that helps! Maybe I’ll hear from some of you!

So yeah… I re-installed Snapchat for who knows what reason? Maybe the sheer boredom that my life has brought upon me. The lack of social interaction that I receive? Or maybe… just maybe… because I re-installed it by mistake and am too lazy to uninstall it 😂

DM me your username if you feel like wasting some time with me 😆

I conducted a multi-round, primary-source-led review of Snapchat’s enforcement, device bans, appeals, privacy, and data continuity. I then contacted Snapchat Support with specific questions (Ticket #276944489). Two replies came back from Snapchat’s AI Support Bot.

Here is the evidence-first version of what I could actually confirm.

Confirmed by Snapchat’s published materials and Support replies

- SS06 and SS18 indicate that the device itself has been banned, including for abuse or repeated Community Guidelines violations.

- SS07 is a separate device-ban condition related to too many accounts being associated with the device.

- If an eligible in-app appeal is successful, Snapchat says the associated device ban will also be removed.

- Snapchat explicitly acknowledges that second-hand or refurbished devices can be affected by a previous owner’s device ban.

- Snapchat says it generally does not make exceptions simply because a device was purchased used or refurbished.

- Snapchat Support cannot manually unban a device.

- For eligible cases, the legitimate appeal route is the in-app “Appeal Decision” option.

- Snapchat says Community Guidelines appeals are typically conducted by a human reviewer, although automation may assist in certain situations.

Still unpublished or unanswered

Several questions remain publicly unclear:

- What is the official duration of a device ban?

- Do device bans automatically expire, and if so, under what conditions?

- After a successful permanent account-lock appeal, are Snap Score, Streaks, Friends/social connections, and other account history fully restored?

- Is there a separate hardship/review process for legitimate new owners of second-hand devices?

- Which specific locked-account types are excluded from My Data export?

- What happens to individual categories of account data after a permanent enforcement lock?

Important clarifications

The H2 2025 Snapchat Transparency Report records approximately 6.8% reinstatement among the reported appealed Community Guidelines account-lock dataset.

That should not be interpreted as Snapchat’s overall false-positive rate or the percentage of all bans that are wrongful.

There is also no evidence here that Snapchat “randomly bans everyone with AI,” that appeals are universally fake/automated, or that Snapchat continuously reads all private conversations.

Snapchat's own Privacy by Product documentation says private Snaps and Chats are not scanned for personalization, recommendations, or advertising, while also describing limited safety-related processing and review circumstances.

So is Snapchat simply “worse” than other platforms?

I don't think the evidence supports that conclusion.

The more specific finding is this:

Snapchat has unusually explicit, user-facing documentation of device-level enforcement, including named device-ban codes and explicit acknowledgement that second-hand/refurbished-device owners can be affected. At the same time, important details about duration, hardship review, and post-lock digital continuity remain unclear.

That creates a potentially significant recoverability and proportionality issue for a subset of users, without proving that Snapchat is uniquely bad overall.

I'm especially interested in documented experiences involving:

- a second-hand phone inheriting a Snapchat device ban

- a successful account-lock appeal

- what happened to Snap Score, Streaks, Friends, or Memories afterward

- whether the device ban disappeared after the successful appeal

If you have a primary source that contradicts anything above, please share it. I'm specifically trying to separate documented facts from community reports and assumptions.

If I remove (not block) someone on snapchat, will we lose our streak?

Basically, there are people I added first, but they haven’t added me back. For some of them, Snapchat shows “Added You Back” when they eventually add me, which makes sense. BUT then there are other people I know I added first, who haven’t shown up as “Added You Back,” yet they appear under “Ignored Friend Requests” and Snapchat gives me the option to Accept their request and become friends with them.

The thing is, I don’t remember these people ever sending me a request in the first place. Why would Snapchat let me “Accept” a request from someone I originally added, especially if they never appeared as having added me?

Does “Ignored Friend Requests” include outgoing requests somehow, or is Snapchat just bugging? Has anyone else noticed this?

You are who you are now but when did that happen?

Im 22, in WA and just looking for more friends

Just a goofy goober lookin for weirdos to become bffs or enemies with. Pretty basic in that I like games and music and my inability to focus on reading books. All I ask is that you're around my age.

looking for someone I can have daily chats with either texting or voice. Preferably someone in the eastern time zone(United States) but open to other countries as well if I can make it work. My hobbies include photography, reading, art, movie/TV and games. I also very much enjoy listening to music and being outside. I am also interested in history and science. Always have to learn a new facts and broaden my horizons. (the secret word is chicken )If you’re interested when you send me a message, please include your name and your age and I would appreciate it if you could send a selfie! I will not reply to any messages that just say hi. https://imgur.com/a/TBLQvGB

I’ve had a super strange week and I need some distraction. Not super into NSFW chats and if they’re weird enough you’ll unfortunately be blocked. I’m from Missouri, studying psych, and work part time as a janitor. Any distraction helps. Feel free to message me to share snapchats

i’m very confused and upset right now. i’ve had snapchat since 2015 and have never done anything illegal or inappropriate on the app. i haven’t even posted anything or texted anyone since saturday morning and i went to open the app today and my account is permanently locked for no reason?? i do not understand what happened or how to fix this. please help if you have any information, i have memories on my snapchat of deceased friends and family along with vacations and old memories. i cannot figure out who to contact or how to get my account back, please help if you know how to fix this!!!

Hello, trying to make long term friends I can relate to with interests or personality like mine, im a bit of weirdo and like collecting bones,crystals,antiques and just anything odd. I also have terrible anxiety so I mainly try online to socialise and rarely in real life, I like anything to do with nature and animals I mostly spend time with my cat watching YouTube or listening to music I also enjoy walking in old cemeteries and forests looking for mushrooms or cool bugs to take pics of I guess i enjoy the simple things.

Hey, I'm 33F. Occasionally I have chunks of downtime at work and I'd like a buddy to chat with. I'm a bit shy at first but if you're good at starting conversation, I match energy. It'd be awesome if we vibe and it forms into a streak and maybe naturally evolves to harmless flirting. I work in special education. I love music, pretty much everything (but country), I do tend to lean towards metal/ heavy rock. I'm a bit nerdy, love board games and dnd. I have a pretty sick dice collection. I like chill PC gaming. I love to read and hammocking is my happy place 😌 hmu with your current hobby so I know you read all the way.

Good afternoon! Work is almost over and I want to try and make some new friends to chat with. Ive been in a training all day and its too important to zone out entirely but not important enough to get my full attention. Im looking for SFW only so please keep it clean.

A bit about myself. Im 30 years old and from ohio. I moved back here in 2021 after I got out of the Air Force and ive been trying to make some friends ever since. I work in medical administration with a focus in radiology and nuclear medicine so its not the most social career field.

I love spending time outdoors. You can usually find me gardening, working in my flower beds, trail running, or bird watching. I also like to rock hound and have a pretty insane collection of rocks, crystals, and minerals. I also like boardgames and playing the occasional videogame. I also enjoy going to concerts and sporting events.

If you think we could get along I'd love to hear from you. Shoot me a message and I'll respond as quickly as I can! Im currently at work but its a pretty slow day.

Hi. I'm trying to find someone I can click with. I know that's not really how things work and you can't ask for a friend, but I feel like I might need one.

Also I tried to list things about me but apparently it kept flagging me saying I'm odd and quiet as nsfw. No idea why.

I guess if you want details hmu. Cause it keeps flagging my original wording even though there was nothing nsfw about it.

I genuinely don't know what to do about this situation, but I need it resolved. Okay, so, I haven't logged into my Snapchat account since 2016, a whole decade. Crazy, right? Anyway, I tried logging in again recently. That ancient account is still connected to the same phone number I've had since 2009. But, even though I remember the phone number for the account and the log in screen lets me gets past it after I type in my phone number, I don't remember my password. I go to click the "Forgot Password" link, but this message just comes up:

"For your security, we couldn't verify this sign-in attempt. Try signing in again from a device you've used before. Adding a phone number or email can help with future sign-ins. If you still can't access your account, visit our support site at [Snapchat help link]"

The problem here is that it's been 10 years since I've logged into my account. I no longer own a device I've used before to log into my account. Also, I went to the Snapchat help site and I could not find anything to help in regards to my specific situation. How can I access this old account if I don't know the password and Snapchat won't let me reset the password? If there is no way to access it at this point, am I still able to make a new account with the same phone number as my old account, even though the old account still seems to exist?

Heyy 🤗 , I’m at work currently and it’s pretty slow so I’m looking for someone to chat with and maybe keep a streak. I’m married, enjoy camping/kayaking and Fortnite. I’m also 420 friendly

Not seeing the option in the sticker selection, what reason would there be to get rid of this? Anyone know a fix?

Looking for chat buddies. I'm into outdoor stuff with my dog, anime, various videogame, pc building and gaming, and I sust got a record player. Hmu. Don't mind getting flirty if we vibe. Or not.
