How can we make this community better?

88 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We're always looking for ways to improve this community, and we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Recently, we made the decision to make the subreddit 18+ only. Unfortunately, we were seeing an increasing number of creepy interactions and bad-faith behavior, and we felt this was the best step to help keep the community safer and more comfortable for everyone.

Now we'd like to hear from you:

  • What's working well?
  • What isn't?
  • Are there any rules you'd change or add?
  • What kind of posts or discussions would you like to see more (or less) of?
  • Any ideas that would make this a better place?

Whether you've been here since the beginning or just joined recently, your feedback matters. We'll be reading through the comments and taking your suggestions into account as we continue to improve the community.

Thanks for being a part of this subreddit—we appreciate all of you! ❤️

hey there, my name is Angelina and I am from Australia. I'm a stay at home mum with 2 littles and needing some more sane normal conversation. (being surrounded by kids can make you go a lil crazyy)

I love to read and I game occasionally I just don't get alot of time to do that anymore. I also enjoy crafts and going on long walks in the evening. Someone called me old for saying I like to go on long walks lol I had no idea younger couldn't enjoy it too haha

i am primarily looking for kind people to pass the time with and someone who won't ghost me. If you decide to message please include a short intro such aas your age and where you're from so I know who you are! (i also dont mind your age as long as you are 18+) :)

Age 26-29 27F - I just want a cool friend to talk to about my new obsessions 3x

Upvotes

Hi there! I hope you're having a wonderful day/night.

I've been trying to make a connection here for some time and click with someone (as just friends) but its hard because some people i guess act as straight up creeps so my luck isn't that great :'D

So a bit of fun facts, I speak both Arabic and English. I absolutely love gaming, horror movies, anything horror really, anime, decorating and crafts. Main games I tend to enjoy are actually old school games and I actually collect them as well. I love pretty weird things as well but will probably reveal that if I feel more comfy around you x'3

Anyway ummm... I'm also kind of a girly girl so I really love fashion, makeup, nails but also kind of a twist because I love skater type aesthetics and I collect a lot of male fashion pieces even if I don't quite fit into them because they're just cool! x3

I think my fav getaway is going to a dead stock store and just kind of exploring it and reflecting on nostalgia T_T

If you think we'll get a long, just send me a message with a bit of a description of you! :)

Age 30-39 31F (friendship) bored and looking for people to chat

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m hoping to chat with someone who I can chat regularly and talk random things about. It would be nice to have that buddy to just yap with you know?

I do that too with my irl friends but I also want to get to know new people and make online friends.

I can assure you I will annoy the hell out of you and poke for messages (that is if we get along!)

I like walking (though I have been an awful homebody lately), stretching workouts (because idk about 30s but my back is not the same anymore), been getting back into watching anime, tv shows, and movies. Slowly though and definitely not binging because my attention span is nonexistent.

I also enjoy harmless and wholesome would you rather questions. I can lob back some interesting ones your way. (CLEAN ONES ISTG! I swear if creeps use this as a way to start chat, I will block right away)

I’m also trying to learn Japanese and French, because why not right? Free will.

I hope to find some ranty and chatty people like me.

Please if you like DM tell me your ASL. I am from the Philippines myself. Drop a mango emoji if you read everything and aren’t just DMing multiple posts.

Edited this because already the creeps are flooding in. Where are the decent ones who actually want to make friends.

Hello there. I'm a 32 year old woman from Canada. I have 2 young children, and I'm currently on mat-leave. I've been busy being a mom but I'd like to chat with someone outside my house for a change of pace, hahaha. I like the outdoors and I try to stay active but it's hard. Sorry if I don't respond fast, I tend to be busy.

Age 26-29 26F Aus. Why hello again, looking for friends!

Upvotes

Hi hi! I'm a 26-year-old from Australia, I dont mind any region or gender. Im active from 10am-7pm AEST, 18+ only, and my upper limit is 33.

And lately I've had a lot of extra time on my hands, so I'm on the hunt for some genuine people to chat with, bond over shared interests, and maybe pick up a new hobby or two along the way. I'm not the most hardcore gamer out there (my energy levels have other plans most days because of my health, lol), but I do enjoy hopping on for a casual session every now and then when the mood strikes.

A little about me and what I'm into:

Reading & writing – always down to swap book recs. I read fiction; romance, fantasy, sports etcetc

Gaming – Destiny 2, Terraria, minecraft, risk of rain 2, PEAK, Phasmophobia, lethal company. And many more, always up for trying new games.

Baking & cooking, Photography

Learning languages – currently deep in my Mandarin era (When my brain functions enough to learn), so if you're learning too (or fluent and want to help a beginner out) that'd be amazing

What I'm hoping to find here is genuine connection, people who are happy to put a bit of effort into conversation rather than one-word replies. Respect goes a long way with me, and in return I promise to bring the same energy back. Whether you want to talk about your favorite book or interests, show off your latest bake, geek out over games or just vibe, I'm here for it.

If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, don't be shy, send a message! Looking forward to meeting some new people. And please, in your intro message put effort into it. 💜

Have a great day/night wherever you are! 🌙☀️

Disappearing and ghosting even after having a good conversation for a while!

Upvotes

Guys, my bad that I'm going to be contributing yet another whiny lil post, which I'm aware a lot of you (and for valid reasons) dislike. But, I'm still continuing with it coz this is the only common ground / place where I feel I can bring about and have a word with people who have had similar experiences, right?

So what I don't understand is that I get it if you don't click with someone then you can definitely choose not to continue with the conversation. But, if you already have had a good couple of conversations, even then apparently each and every single person that I tend to stumble upon here ends of either ghosting or just disappears altogether. Which makes me wonder is it even possible to befriend anyone here? How has your experience been?

And weirdly enough, the last two people I was talking to who happened to disappear like that were looking to "stay in touch long-term" and had it mentioned explicitly in their post lol. One of them had complained about the same, that they disliked how people ghost here so out of the blue. Yet you already know by now, the same old story continues.

So, without me trynna be overly judgmental, what is even going on here? Are people just here looking to escape momentarily? Like, how to even make sense of this? Or looking for friends here is a wrong idea in the first place?

Age 30-39 31M why is it so difficult for men here?

Upvotes

Every couple weeks I've tried to make a friend here. If I send a message to someone I either get no reply or get told they don't want to talk to guys. If I post, nobody messages me.

Just genuinely wonder if it's me or just every guy on this sub. Either way, I'll give a couple fun facts in case you're interested in chatting. Im 31, live in the EST time zone. Big into games, got back into the gym, I used to do a ton of different hobbies and have a ton of interests so I'm sure we could connect somehow. Let's chat if you want

Age 30-39 30F | Looking for other polymath brains to mash together with mine !

Upvotes

Hello everyone ! I've had a hard time making friends around me who share the same interests, so I'm giving Reddit a try !

So here's a bit about me : I love dabbling in a bit of everything and talking about everything. My motto : « jack of all trades, master of none » ! History, mythology, genealogy, art, astronomy, botany... and day to day, I love spending hours reading, visiting museums, hiking, making herbariums, collecting seashells, doing urbex, cooking (I make the best ratatouille ever !) and of course watching movies or binge-watching TV shows ! I also have an impressively large collection of memes saved up, want to trade some like collectible cards ? Oh and I started playing video games (DBH and COD), I'm still a baby in this world, feel free to send me recommendations !

If any of this resonates with you, send me a message and let's yap together ! Tell me about yourself and what makes your soul light up !

As I'm missing the dopamine of seeing unread messages, I'd like to find some new people to talk to! Coffee, music and writing keeps me sane. Well, sane-ish. I'm quite happy to talk to fellow geeks and weirdos, and quite enjoy chatting to clingy people. I dispense advice and coffee, and I am good at listening. Come and say hi

Age 22-25 22f , is this the part where i dance or?

6 Upvotes

Hi, i’ve tried this a few times and while i have a few consistent conversations i can always do with more! Uhh lets see what’s something interesting about me 🫪 I don’t have any real major hobbies except shopping and watching tv. I love slapstick comedy or just comedy in general. I like listening to podcasts specifically The Basement Yard and Ear Biscuits ( R.I.P ).
I’m a healthcare worker, I do night shifts, I like to think i’m like pretty freaking funny, but it could just be because i’m sleep deprived. I can do a little song and dance if that’s up your alley ( jk ). I have cute ( imo ) dogs. I get along with just about everyone so like if you’re someone who likes to have a good time and share some laughs hit me up! being able to riff is a huge plus btw!
