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

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. 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
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

One thing that I hate about social media is hate towards blank profiles. (lemmy.world)

Firstly, I understand why, most blank profiles are bots, but it's so frustrating trying to dm people, and interact in communities when you are mostly a lurker. Now I'm not a lurker here, but on other places it's very annoying when you just want to talk to a specific person. Reddit is especially dreadful for new accounts or lurkers. Karma requirement's are such bullshit.

I do check their profile when I receive a DM from someone I don't know. If only, to get an idea who is trying to reach me, what I can expect, and how I should reply. My profile tells people where I'm from and how old I'm, stuff like that. So, anyone checking it will at least understand why my English can be lacking, and why I may not be that interested in stuff or questions younger people consider important. I also share my blog url in that profile but so far I don't think anyone ever contacted me there coming from Lemmy ;)

I don't mind a blank profile, but it won't help me feel... connected to the person. So, my reply may not be as complete or personal as it could have been.
