in favor of using ONLY MESSAGING SERVICES, public messaging services, sorta like discord if i want to make friends, because i realized that making friends is already hard enough and therefore it’s harder to make friends in social media!! mostly because of the complicated ui!! dang it!! but yea if i were to ditch everything and instead use messaging services, PUBLIC messaging services like discord or even matrix, i think i would make friends more easily, that would make me very ok, plus i could show off more stuff that i’ve been working on like programming and get feedback and stuff, woa!! anyway what do you think please??

    Yes, because then we won’t have to read questions like this (from you) anymore.

    (More seriously, no one can tell you what to do. I don’t regularly use any public chatrooms anymore because I have better things to do with my time nowadays, but I pretty much grew up on IRC, so I can’t give any advice to a stranger.)

        We use a capital letter at the beginning of sentences to denote the start of a new statement; it makes it much easier to read quickly and to parse the paragraph correctly.

        When you miss them out, presumably through sheer laziness, you’re actually being incredibly disrespectful to people who are reading your messages and having to spend a bit of extra time trying to figure out what you’re saying.

        Might help you in the future with your subject matter.

            I think this is a product of post/comment history. Seen it a few times today, where the same individuals are doing the same things over, and over, and over again, and certain active members are noticing it and no longer being accepting of it and going off. (I mean the tone and content, not the capitalization)
