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
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- 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
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Here (lemmy), bluesky, and somewhat regrettably, discord. I'll still lurk on big platforms for the purpose of information gathering but my accounts are mostly gone. I don't see as much fanart as I used to, so I'm wondering if I should start checking pixiv more often again. But even that's been enshittified with AI and other stuff (I don't remember the details tbh), so I don't even know at this point.
It's weird when I go to the big platforms. There are big numbers on posts but it feels like fewer and fewer people are talking and a lot of what I do see is just people having the same conversations over and over again and like there are just fewer.....people....I guess? It's weird.
