Casual Conversation

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I feel like poetry is so complicated no one is gonna understand it.

I love this idea, and thought about exactly this when looking for places to share my Pocket Paint kinda-sorta-collage monstrosities (not quite memes, too many borrowed materials for me to feel great about posting in ArtShare, etc.)

Basically just a pretty loose 'i made this' community. There's a couple in that sort of vein but didn't quite have the feel I was (and it sounds like you are) going for. !originalpoetry@literature.cafe is a decent community for poems specifically, though, and could use more love.

Ugh...starting to think I need to get over my allergy to moderating...

Edit: you know what, I'm taking some of this back. !imadethis@lemmy.zip is looking like it fits better than when I last thought about it.
