Sure, it’s not a physical space, but getting on voice with the gang serves a very similar social purpose compared to hanging out in a mall or at a park. Not gonna say it’s the best third space, just saying it is one.

So were malls. At least discord is accessible from home.
Eh, depending on the mall, they’re a good place to physically hang out with other people without having to drink or spend money. It’s just that malls in the US are dull and boring. Compare it to malls in Asia and it’s a whole different level.
Can’t speak for the US, but many malls in Asia are getting westernised and ‘samey’ as well.
Shit, my friends and I would meet at a local Starbucks back when Starbucks were inviting.
Malls were really neat when they weren’t all clothes and shoes and jewelry. B. Dalton books, KB Toys, World Bazaar, Spencers, arcades.
