Casual Conversation

1063 readers
129 users here now

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It feels like I’m decluttering. I joined a couple meme communities or whatever they’re called here. And I like the usual stuff movies, games, books and have checked some of those. I’m not trying to go overboard and join every place, more so looking cool and chill places to interact with people.

Hello and glad you're here! I had to start over after Lemm.ee got removed, but I stand by the same method I used years ago, just block communities you have no interest in. I usually upvote a few posts there to give them a little kiss farewell.

This is a good idea. I’m probably gonna start with more news/politically related communities. I’m so glad this place doesn’t have a news page like Reddit. I would find myself endlessly scrolling and viewing dumb posts with headlines like “this celebrity thinks that blah blah…” and then going to see what people are saying, and be like oh somehow has a ton of downvotes what did they say, and I’d be invested in an argument and then I’d catch myself and be like wait…I don’t give shit about this why I’m engaging with, let alone reading, the comments. Obviously important to stay informed but I wasted so much time scrolling through pointless “news” posts. I’m trying to avoid toxicity and engaging in stuff I don’t even care about only to get caught up in some dumb argument with an asshole
