I'm all for PM people.

They have to understand the other person has a life and might have things to do. No big deal. If they can't handle it, then that's their problem.

And the person might message a couple of times just to check on, which is cool, just let them know you're busy. If they can't handle that, that's on them.

I've had a lot of private message conversations in chat rooms. I'm used to it, I feel comfortable with it.

If someone who wants to spend time with me can't understand that real life comes before online life and they throw a tantrum. I don't want to know them.
It's not considered ghosting, it's considered getting pulled away from the computer/ website.
It's not under your control.
If that's not understood, that's their problem.

The same way I feel about messaging on any social media platform

I message people I have established something with normally.

I only message people I've interacted with on the forum.

I’m fine with it. If the person blocks for that reason then whatever they aren’t worth my time

Rarely will I PM anyone unless I have known them for some time.

Others that PM me I usually reply if it's something substantial.

Saying just hi usually gets no response. It's usually just a catfish or something like one. 😔

New messagers I usually refer them to my about me or a featured post. There's plenty about me on those.

It’s usually a good time 🎉😂

I have friends I like to talk to here. I also have a busy life, so far everyone's been understanding or they ghost me.

If they block you for disappearing during a conversation then they weren’t worth talking to anyway..

My worry is running out of things to say...just like in real in life 😂.

Tell before you go.

Depends on who it is.

I am for it.

I have a few people I message with casually on here, they are all on my friends list and there’s never been any implied pressure to respond “quickly” with them, just message whatever whenever.

That is a dumb reason to block someone.
