So what’s your preferred alternative?
I don’t know if you’ve seen them, but since no one else has mentioned them, there’s a few other communities that might work for posting your thoughts besides casualconversation:
In one of your other comments on this post you mentioned somewhere to ask fact oriented questions rather than open ended questions as encouraged by asklemmy. For those, you might consider:
Otherwise just post your question in a community appropriate to the topic. Hope you find what you’re looking for from Lemmy.
As to your title, who says it isn’t? Just because it isn’t as commonly used that way doesn’t mean it isn’t for that. Also, my understanding is that Lemmy was created as a federated alternative to Reddit, and while I would say that Reddit did have more engagement for general discussion, it was/is probably better known for questions, links, and memes just as you’re seeing on Lemmy.
What happens to your thoughts? Do you turn them all in the form of a question?
This next part is just my opinion, but regarding this quote and your title contrasting commentary to questions, in my opinion posts with questions are likely to be more engaging as they give a direct point for responses. If you’re just posting your thoughts and ideas into the void, people are less likely to engage with them unless you are saying something particularly compelling or controversial.
If Lemmy had more of ourselves in this way, maybe it would be a healthier place.
Healthier in what way? Size of userbase? Number of posts/comments? Or are you referring to the quality of discourse and level of courtesy or toxicity between users?
I’m fine with treating the lower 48 like this, but the Great Lakes did nothing to deserve their erasure!
If I haven’t heard of it, it’s new to me!
Have someone thrown out a window on the 1st day to establish dominance
Am I? Probably.
Is everyone I know? No idea, can’t say it’s something that comes up and I’m not qualified to diagnose them.
And it’s so easily fixable too. “Boris Johnson calls to lift ban on Ukraine using”… etc. or just move “to be lifted” immediately after “ban”.
Nothing inherently wrong with having multiple communities for the same concept, though the fact that this one only has automod and no other mods seems not great.
I think most of this is going over my head, but I’m especially trying to wrap my head around The Midland exclaves for San Francisco, El Paso, and Tallahassee.
Not pictured: the hearts, stars, horseshoes, blue moons, pots of gold, rainbows, and red balloons that Clover has been eating.
omg I’m an idiot I was trying to riff off Medicare for All and used Medicaid instead, Sexicare definitely works
Sure it’d be great if basic needs like food, shelter, healthcare and yes, sex, weren’t commoditized, but until we get Sexicaid Sexicare for All, I’m fine with people making money from sex and paying for it. Legalize and regulate it for the safety of the workers and the customers.
^Someone please come up with a better name than Sexicaid^
