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?

    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.

        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.
