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?
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.
God I love the smaller communities, they’re so much better. Especially when you recognize the people.
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.
What’s bluey?
An absolutely fantastic kids show. If you have little kids i 100% recommend checking it out. The show is just as much for the parents as it is the kids.
Went to an agricultural show over the weekend, saw all the animals, petted the goats, cheered the horses. Ate the food, but it seems like it’s gone downhill on that front lately, the food offering was always the best part of the show but it was just a let down.
I assume it’s the world situation of all the stuff being more expensive so cheap good Street food isn’t much a thing now, but such is life! Anyway I hope you OP, and all those reading this have a good week <3
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?
Got back from dropping my son at table-tennis. My neighbour’s dog was trotting toward my house and my cat was sat in front.
He is scared of my cat because she hissed at him once. Poor boy was stuck in a limbo, unable to go back was the terrifying black and white lioness was blocking one route and and my car blocked the other.
Eventually he decided the car was safer than the cat and went home.
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!
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.
