So I just joined here. Is it worth it? Do I need to say something intellectually stimulating to start a conversation? Testing....1...2🤣

It is entirely up to you what you get from this site. Contribute or just read and observe. Whatever suits your fancy.

I think it's worth it. There's a lot of different things being discussed and music and jokes. I hope you like it!

Just make a post and see what happens. Until you get into the swing of things it may be best to browse and make a few contributions by way of replies to others’ posts. Join a few groups too, there is bound to be something that interests you. You don’t need to make profound statements, just so long as they are intelligent and reasonably coherent.

worth what? it's a free site! worth your time and effort? that depends on what you want from the site. if you want intellectually stimulating answers, you may wish to try an intellectually stimulating post, but it's up to you. as for the comment below that you should not waste intelligent comments here because many will not understand, that's crap because many WILL understand. if you don't speak because many won't understand you won't speak at all, anywhere in the universe. like anywhere else, find what and whom you like.

Don't waste intelligent comments on here....many will not understand. 🙂

That is a very patronising and disparaging statement. There are many very stimulating and thought provoking posts on this site. Perhaps it is you who can’t understand.

Well, aren’t you the charmer?

@MezzaVoce Mostly people are intelligent, mostly they are polite. You don’t have to restrict yourself to religious or political talk. We discuss anything and everything..

I will also add there are many on here with thin skin who take an undirected comment, which was obviously meant as a joke, way too seriously and personal (which ironically kinda proves my point about not being understood), without giving you the benefit of the doubt that your comment may have been self inclusive.

As far as the community, it's a mixed bag, much like society in general. I came here looking for a dating site for atheist/agnostics, but realized it is more a community board. I also came here with the assumption that being atheist/agnostic, the people on here would approach topics in the same manner they do religion, with skepticism, openness to dialogue, and critical evaluation (at least more so than what I am accustomed to in the south US). Unfortunately I was wrong to make such a broad assumption. I've seen many posts over a myriad of topics where members make statements sharing the same type of logic and reasoning you see from religious zealots. In that regard I think it's an excellent catalyst for introspection regarding one's beliefs and the evaluation of logical reasoning behind one's convictions.

Overall....it's a good site. There are serious topics and groups, and there are also just some stuff to get a laugh out of. Since it's text, meaning or intent may not be properly conveyed, either due to the poster's communications skills, or because the reader projects their POV and misconstrues comments. Unless it's blatantly obvious a person is attacking another individual or group, or spouting hateful and angry rhetoric, I try to give the person the benefit of the doubt. People have bad days, and occasionally you will find one or two that are ticked off about everything (both poster and readers). Like in real life, there are also those that think one rude or insensitive comment from someone means anything and everything they say or do from then on should be met with animosity and vitriol. My advice is join in, speak your mind, and have fun...but don't forego personal friendships and discussions. This site is great, but it is not a replacement for friends whom you can personally share ideas with; this site IMO will not fill that void. Again, it's a good site, with generally good people, who are just humans trying to connected in this disconnected, angry, and isolated world we seem to find ourselves today.
