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?

    That’s awesome, such a practical hobby. I tried to get into it with an UP MINI years ago but had too many competing hobbies already (read: not retired) so didn’t really catch for me. I’m sure it’ll come back at another time though

      I’d been following 3D printing for years and finally had some extra dough to get a nice printer. And now I just want a whole farm of them, haha.
