I remember several years ago r/Casual Conversation was brimming with interesting and candid discussion. As it gained more and more traction I saw it go through the same evolution that killed r/IAmA and r/askreddit. More popularity means more traffic, more traffic means more posts, more posts means stricter moderating, stricter moderating means less “casual” posts. Before long it was just another upvote machine, and that’s when I dipped out.
So having said that, how is your morning going? Did you do anything cool this weekend?
Chat@beehaw.org seems like what you’re looking for.
Having an good morning and had a good busy weekend. But not enough time for myself. You?
Oh wow, I completely forgot about r/casualconversation. Never subbed but I used to see it on r/all often, but it’s been years.
That said, I caught up on sleep mostly and messed around with my 3d printers. Got an appt in about an hour and couldn’t sleep last night so been up all night, lol. So much for catching up.
Seems the Lemmy servers are getting hammered right now with the thousands of new users.
It was nice to finally have free time with a lot of sun this weekend. Spent all Saturday drinking Pimm’s on the roof terrace with a friend of a friend. Then most of Sunday playing Zelda TOTK.
I’ll miss all the subreddits full of folks discovering identities, finding new ways to understand themselves. I hope we’ll hit a critical mass over here so folks can find themselves!
My morning is going good. I have the day off and a friend’s birthday party to go to later. I’m going to spend some time rehearsing music for the barbershop chorus I sing in, and maybe crochet a little bit.
