Just played my first Roll20 LFG game with random people, (I've only played Roll20 with friends or just in person). We played Labyrinth Lord and it was great, I actually had an awesome time. It was kind of awkward at first but we really gelled and the game itself was so fast and fun, we had a lot of deaths but a lot of laughs too.
Did I just get lucky? Or is Roll20 really alright, and old school D&D actually that fun?

Here's where you went right. All the grognards, sperglords, weeaboos, and autists are playing 3.5 or 5e.

You didn't play 5e, 3.5 or PF so you avoided all the shit that comes with it.
Roll20 is alright if you avoid the shitty systems.

Weird, the only time I played through roll20 properly was D&D5e with a bunch of mexicans (I'm spanish)
It was standard, typical, campaign of a short dungeon crawl with some traps and not too difficult encounters culminating in a fight against a beholder. Simple and clean, I had a lot of fun and everyone was nice, perhaps the GM was too eager to throw us a bone and help, but some of us almost ended up dying and his attempts at inmersion were bretty good
I guess I was lucky

5e is the most popular TTRPG out right now, followed by 3.5 and Pathfinder, so playing it always a gamble. Sometimes you'll get a good group of reasonable adults, sometimes you'll get a bunch of manchildren wanting to play their slutty elf waifus and super-powered anime characters. The best way to ruin a great idea is to add too many people, and 5e is already not "great" to begin with.

I see
My opinion is that at the end the game itself doesn't matter shit and how much fun you are going to have depends on the people you play with
I had a lot of fun playing the shittiest homebrew of Daggerfall you can think of because it was with decent friends of mine

Probably. It's fairly easy to find a good Roll20 game, but the problem most of the time is that people just don't try at all with where and how they apply and fail to see various red flags (GM approves every applicant with 0 screening, there are things they don't like they ignore, etc).
Roll20's badness is a mixture of memes and the fact that bad experiences are more memorable and fun to read than a "I had so much fun!" story.
