Are general purpose channels still a thing? I used to meet a lot of people (and maybe even date someone) in #<country> or #<city> channels that have gone the way of the dodo from what I can tell.

Some I guess, but I find it hard to "get into" them (not access, but to become a long-time stick-arounder). Much prefer to find niche channels and talk about the niche and eventually stick around because they're just nice people. Then the niche becomes a plus while in reality, I'm still there just because of the people.
