      Controversial take here:

      In my opinion, if you’re just here to shit post and not actually use your “socializing” brain, then no. Like when you’re picking the weird options in Skyrim and then restoring your last save.

      But if you’re committing to the actions and this is your “real playthrough”, then yes.

        Yeah i do sometimes just shit post on here, but I’m also trying to treat it like forums in the pre social media age when you could recognize a few users just by their user name. I am also trying to contribute to the “community” aspect.

      I think so, yes.

      I have been posting things on websites that allow the general public to participate since my childhood, that is, for more than 20 years. At the time I was familiar with “forums”, slightly later also “wikis” and “blogs”… I have no idea why or even when exactly the world started to insist on that strange term “social media” to describe some poorly defined subset of such websites. 🤔
