Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I made quite a number of >30 year old friends online, mostly on instagram and twitch.

  • On Instagram I just repost cat videos, make funny comments that are not offensive (e.g. cat puns, or self deprecating jokes)
  • On twitch, I post self deprecating jokes, compliment on people's look and effort, etc.

My rule is, don't be annoying, don't nag, don't post comments that sound like you're looking for a mate. Genuinely believe that I'm gonna be dead soon, and I'll treat a handful people I care about as nice as possible without suffocating them.

Also don't talk about yourself.
