Many people dread small talk (not us, now tell us about your vacation plans). Human connectivity researcher Georgie Nightingall says it can be a way of building deeper connection, trust and curiosity. “You can actually realize that you do want to know more rather than having that sense of like, I’m just asking for the sake of asking,” she told Vox. Here are some tips on how to improve your small talk abilities. We want to know, how do you feel about the art of chitchat?
I want to take a moment to thank everyone for the boosts, favourites but especially the replies over the last year! I've been on Mastodon for a little over a year and made a lot of GREAT friends, learned new things and seen many awesome animal pictures and beautiful landscapes with the sun rising or setting.
Thanks again and let's keep social media social in 2024!🙂

Announcing the "How do you use Co-op Cloud?" survey!
I'm trying to gather stories about how people use Co-op Cloud. With your consent, I will share these at the "Engineering for Digital Sovereignty" presentation during https://disco.si/speakers-and-programme/#conversation (@DISCOSlovenia) on the 24th of October. Images are very much appreciated, the more visuals the better (for the slides).
I just finished watching "My Dinner with Andre" (for the first time). Let me know if you'd like to have a conversation with me. #myDinnerWithAndre#conversation#film
I saw some #conversation on here last night in which the OP posted about how angry they were when anyone except their friends replied to their post. I do think they meant in terms of being argumentative ... well, I did originally. They said it was #Mastodon#ettiquette (#Matoquette? #Mastettiquet?) to not reply unless you know the OP/commenter.
"How's work?" "It's been forever..." "This weather!" A small-talk-hating British journalist attempted to ditch superficial conversation by heading down the pub armed with psychologist-approved lines like "What excites you right now?" and "Who is your favorite superhero?" Here's what happened.
