It’s the worst thing about Lemmy and all it really does is make me more hesitant to squander potential friends by acting shitty, and less liable to spend hours chatting.
I could go on a sub like NoStupidQuestions or AskElectricans, etc where someone would ask a question about some super obscure topic I happen to be knowledgeable on. I could write a long, in-depth response which would then get dozens of responses and further questions. I’d be engaged in the same conversation about this topic or that for days.
Here, it feels like 99% of conversations are about IT/programming, which is not my field, or about American politics.

Yeah no, it’s not the best. But I’d still curl that monkey’s paw any day
