Do you post here to promote conversation, or just comment on others’ postings?

I have odd thoughts and a vicious text voice that I share via post in hopes of swapin' a smile...and a few words.

Comment on others to offer an alternative in light of adversity or agreement when we share the tracks of our train of thought.

Or when my inner child simply can't zip it.

I post to suit myself and if the humor or content I post sparks a conversation then great. I also reply in the same manner to other people's post.

I join in when I feel like I have something to contribute and when it’s comfortable for me. Luckily, there is no real protocol, and after 9 years I have many posts and people with whom I converse on a regular basis.

Actually reply to other posts far far more than post. I post maybe once a week. I'm not here for the attention. Which is why I hardly post.

Surprised you are calling the posters the conversationalists. They rarely talk on their own posts. 🤣
They are too busy posting or doing something else. They are mostly attention seekers

I’m absolutely horrible at posting. I prefer to reply to those kind enough to post. You create the action. I’ll add to the fodder.

We all have our roles.

There’s a third category too - those that post for affirmation. Some OPs have no intent of allowing thoughts contrary to their own, what you correctly called promoting conversation.

Their approach is simple. Agree with me or I’ll block you rather than be “forced” to think.

I'm a private person for the most part. I don't post for comments or conversation. I post for my own self satisfaction.

I like conversation and friendly banter. It fills a void.

I post about my work which has a large following. I also cmment on posts if I find them interesting.

I join in if I feel like what I have to say is relevant to to topic

I do a lot more of the first but I respond to posts here and there too.

I rarely post, but I often comment on the posts of others.

I try to give actual advice and genuine opinion nowadays and post about life philosophy

I think it's an even kilter for me. It depends on my mood and those change quite frequently lol

I do both.

conversation i guess

I do a little of everything

A little of both, I suppose...

Just comment on others' postings!🤔

Depends on the subject.

@Zinvalla 🤔usual i post bad jokes apart from that unless i really have anything important to say i just answer others🤷‍♂
