Social media platforms become dead to me when I'm forced to accept I won't find conversations on them. Instagram has been basically dead to me for as long as I've used it. Cohost, Bluesky, Twitter nowadays, and the dice.camp local feed are almost wholly devoid of actual conversations. Sounding off on stuff and hoping for engagement isn't conversational behavior. If it keeps up like this people are going to turn back to in-person socializing. 😱

@PaulCzege or back to forums, which as the name implies, are focused on discussion.

    @LeviKornelsen @PaulCzege What forums do you find most valuable for TTRPGs?

    @LeviKornelsen @christo @PaulCzege the issue I have with forums is signing up to them and then forgetting the password I used.

    I think I may even have stopped using a few and got purged as an inactive user.

    or if in fact I didn't actually sign up to them.

    @ukgamerspodcast @LeviKornelsen @christo @PaulCzege I never used to purge inactive users on my forum until the database started becoming too big. Even then I only purged people who hadn’t visit in over 10 years I think. I’ve often thought of bringing back the forum but then I remember the stress it caused 😂

    @LeviKornelsen @christo @PaulCzege I can't say I've had the best luck getting serious conversation on forums either. People often seem to respond to only my first sentence, my first paragraph, or something they imagine I said based on a skim.

    I miss IRC being active, as far as conversations go.
