Turns out that if you talk about stuff everyone’s talking about you get pretty good engagement. 

Why do I struggle with this? Feels too obvious.

The example that sparked it was here. Though tbh it wasn’t a notably big engager and kind of a test. But I’ve noticed it tends to follow wherever.

Evangelizing Incentives That Combine Self Interest With Collective Benefit & A Few Other Things I'm Still Trying To Figure Out

Yeah. Been thinking the less prominent stuff that resonates with fewer should lead to deeper convos but not entirely sure that holds either. But when it does, it’s good.

talking about what interests you is more interesting & always has been

eg, news of gta 6 today & everyone saying gaming will lead the next bull run... & couldn't disagree more, they're mostly stale takes

Also, what about networks and systems? Any faves?

IRL, weather talk (all small talk) has use. Get to gauge a person/interaction. Mediated by tech this is a bit stranger. 

A total cop out but I like to talk about a range of stuff. Just not often the thing everyone decides they want to. Conversational version of ‘I knew them before they got big’? 🤷‍♂️

But then you get things like people talking for 10 minutes about the weather…

What do you enjoy talking about? For me it’s networks and systems

Cohost of /gmfarcaster, a live stream Farcaster news show.  Engineer. Mom x 3. I love to share the wonder and beauty of daily life.

Neither, really. 

I just tend to find what’s popular to talk about to be boring. Perhaps just because it is popular. Which is stupid. The topic itself might be interesting. 

Maybe it’d be fun to act like a brand and have a viewpoint to spin on whatever the story is. I just fear that’s route 1 to being the bore.

Struggle = bringing myself to being another commenter on the thing. Enough gets said and I don’t often think I’d add anything more worth reading. Reams of me too comments are a bit yawn.

Struggle how? This annoys you or you want more engagement?
