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.
Yeah, I’m doing my best to respond to these comments but this site is stickier than fly paper right now. I hope Lemmy can survive the hug o’ death. I’m gonna put on my tinfoil hat and say that if I were the CEO I would be all hands on deck trying to overload these small servers with bots to stifle the migration. I almost gave up on making my account because of the servers, and that was like a week ago. I can only imagine how clogged up things are now.
That sounds like a good weekend to me, I haven’t played TOTK but I’ve heard so many good things about it. How does it compare to Breath of the Wild?
God I love the smaller communities, they’re so much better. Especially when you recognize the people.
Could be better. Don’t feel like going into details in the moment, but its alright.
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!
good!! no i didnt do naything cool except sign up for matrix and lemmy and deleted reddit :] i also got a 5 star animal crossing island
