Why was it taken away? I understand there was much rubbish around but, on the other hand, I could get in touch and make friends with different people around the world. There should be some way to reinstate it ....

Some can post to me
but I cannot reply
A communicating website
we cannot use the language
we are encouraged to learn
but look for other sites
Twitter has closed many in Germany
facebook is just poison
Duolingo used to be such a safe site
but now it is difficult to access
we wait but lose many to memrise
and to so of the other sites

Wish you were right, I haven't heard about any return of this feature, unfortunately ....

Did you read his last AMA on reddit? Not once did he mention bringing back the streams in fact he basically said they wouldn't because not enough people actually used them.

Many of us are using discord to communicate with each other. Here is a funny short video explaining why to use discord. Discord - Don't Be A Broom: http://youtu.be/sSPIMgtcQnU.
I have a Chattroom for Spanish students https://discord.gg/8pyhVbU where you can chat with native speakers and practice your writing and speaking skills. Anyone who is interested is welcome to join. There are many other different language Chatrooms available and if anyone is interested let me know what languages you are working on and I will get you the appropriate links.
No hay de qué. (I don't know what you would say in Italian.)
And I should also mention the Official Unofficial Duolingo Discord https://www.duolingo.com/comment/22325618 because it has a channel for every language on Duolingo. Although they are not very active compared to the language specific servers.

There was a possibility to view your friends' (people you were following) activities, you could write messages to them. I have created some DL classes and I could, for example, encourage my students, praise them, exchange some short comments etc. That tool was good, really good ...
