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.

    Sewing queue finally empty and I’ve got some breathing room for costuming before the autumn renaissance festivals start up.

    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.
