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.
Sewing queue finally empty and I’ve got some breathing room for costuming before the autumn renaissance festivals start up.
my morning’s going really well. watched some bluey with my daughter before she got picked up by her grandma and i’m currently being groomed by my new 11 week old kitten while i ignore a meeting. weekend was pretty good too. got the cat and played some dnd for the first time in like 3 months. we all forgot some pretty basic rules but it was a blast. our wizard killed 2 players at once by dropping a levitated one 20 feet ontop of another one. it was pretty funny.
God I love the smaller communities, they’re so much better. Especially when you recognize the people.
Seconding !chat@beehaw.org!
I had a great weekend, it was my friend’s birthday and he always organizes a kind of “mini-Olympics” where we just play sports in the park all day, complete with banners for the champions! My body is now killing me but my spirit feels rejuvenated.
It’s great fun to go play outside with your friends as an adult, it’s not something we do nearly as much as we should. Go play outside! Kick a ball! Throw a ball! Run! Climb on things!
