>>33239449Yes. On /X/ I found people really into ceremonial magic and esoteric things. Very low reply rate, but once freiends were found we talked for years about spooky things. On /B/ I ran across people dealing with trauma, some disabled people, and one guy who really loved horror movies. Low reply rate but surprisingly deep conversation. /Trash/ is very casual and seems to have a mixed bag of based guys there to talk (but they don't like /soc/ for being too shallow) and high strung gooners. Thankfully you can always stop talking to gooners and the gooners mostly get the point and won't harass you if you aren't posting gooner stuff. Higher reply rate than the rest, but least serious people.
Be degen? Find degen. Be based? Find based. That's just how it goes normally. If feeling paranoud, then use a nice throwaway as a filter just in case. Remember to check the throwaway as I've had people forget, reply months later, and apologize. It kills conversation.
Once you know they're good, steer them to the real contact to make life easier. If they're a spaz, block them or make a new throwaway.
