Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Honestly, the solution will sadly end up being that Beehaw's discussions get posted elsewhere like to Lemmy and potentially better conversations happening on Lemmy won't make it back to Beehaw's closed system. That said maybe that's not a bad thing.
I honestly have the opposite opinion. I feel like better discussion happens in small select groups. I've not been impressed by the discussions I see in large groups of people. They almost always devolve into things like slurs, gender stereotypes, and worse.
But then I'm a frequent user of raddle, and my favorite discord server has 8 people, so that's more my pace.
The best conversations happen among small groups of people selected out of a huge, huge pool of people.
Niche interests and discussions need to be able to advertise their existence to millions in order to persuade that dozen people to actually participate.
I both agree and disagree with you on that one. While I agree that it is the largest and most active, it alone is still not large enough to harbor the kinds of discussions I'd like to see on its own.
