clyde Posted February 6 Nice. I'm relieved to see your contribution. I was thinking about some of the reasons I prefer these forums over platforms such as Reddit and Facebook. I think that part of it is that nested replies creates a sense that there is a bunch of cross-talk rather than just having one conversation. Of course sometimes people do that anyway by only replying to one other person back and forth, but I don't think that is as systemic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted February 12 A thing that social media, forums, and comment sections all have in common is that I have a habit of typing out long replies, then losing my nerve and deleting it all. Good to see some old faces. Hard not to feel despondent at the way things are, both online and off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted February 25 I definitely failed this challenge. Sorry. I'm still reading everything everyone's posting, tho. I will be back to posting soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clyde Posted February 26 I fell off before February ended, but this was a helpful exercise for me. I quickly remembered some of the things I prefer about this format. I've looked a little bit into possible other forums to join, but as I think about what I want, I'm thinking that a local weekly writing group may make more sense for me. I won't get written responses, but I think sharing medium-length essays and some discussion around them is what I really want. And in-person is so much more attractive to me than online. I currently have that option because I live in a city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
