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?

    I had a great weekend, it was my friend’s birthday and he always organizes a kind of “mini-Olympics” where we just play sports in the park all day, complete with banners for the champions! My body is now killing me but my spirit feels rejuvenated.

    It’s great fun to go play outside with your friends as an adult, it’s not something we do nearly as much as we should. Go play outside! Kick a ball! Throw a ball! Run! Climb on things!
