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.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for new friends from different countries to chat with. I’m 37 years old and I’m interested in history and learning about different cultures. Since I’m still practicing my English, I prefer text-based chat. If you’d like to have a respectful conversation, please feel free to send me a message!

I was originally from Mainland China and immigrated to the US as a kid, my English is native-level.

Feel free to DM, as long as it doesn't get too weird... 👀

(I'm not gonna make outside accounts so just use the Fediverse messaging thing built-in to the platform)

Hey, what is this fediverse messaging thingy?

Ah yes, you meant the DM feature. I thought it was some kind of chat room like Reddit once had.

So is the user a bot?

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

xD

I use Lemmy as main so it doesn't show...

Maybe I should switch to piefed as main acc honestly...

But anyways... I jokingly said "feel free to ask to ask me anything, but not my bank info, cuz that's a secret 😉"

Still no reply... hours later...

Damn, please dont leave me, Mr. Nigerian Prince... I need your company...

Hey, I'm 37 too, from Melbourne Australia (originally from England) and have a wife and kids.

I also have a friend who is getting married to someone from China in a few months - so I'd love to get to know a little about Chinese culture, too.

I'm not too good on history, but happy to chat if you send a message

See ya
