like, i’m just trying to post random content. normally i post stuff to /c/[email protected] but this topic feels more mature, less silly.
/c/[email protected] only has like 15 votes per post so it’s not very active. meanwhile /c/[email protected] has more like 70 upvotes per post on average. why is the casual conversations community so inactive?
You overestimate this platform’s ability to carry actual human conversation.
It’s not the platform. It’s the users, and the culture at large.
It way easier to conduct things 10-20 years ago, than today.
Just watch old Presidential debates from the 70s and 80s, you’ll be shocked how sophisticated they sound compared to today’s toddler level debates.
in 2026 every moron thinks their opinion and feelings are the only relevant thing, and they actively seek to derail other people’s conversations because it upsets them for whatever reason… usually because they are too dumb to understand it.
It’s hard enough to argue with people in the comments in not-really-realtime
I used to do that in forum sites years ago. There’s a kind of exhilarating excitement to it. Especially when I’m “behind” and mass quoting and replying to each quote. It was also exhausting.
I kind of miss it
