Can we bring back casual conversation?

I remember several years ago r/Casual Conversation was brimming with interesting and candid discussion. As it gained more and more traction I saw it go through the same evolution that killed r/IAmA and r/askreddit. More popularity means more traffic, more traffic means more posts, more posts means stricter moderating, stricter moderating means less "casual" posts. Before long it was just another upvote machine, and that's when I dipped out.

So having said that, how is your morning going? Did you do anything cool this weekend?

Chat@beehaw.org seems like what you're looking for.
Having an good morning and had a good busy weekend. But not enough time for myself. You?
- You sound like you know wassup; what's the quickest way for someone like me to navigate to a suggested community like the one you've mentioned? It's clearly not a URL extension, and clicking the link wants me to send an email XD I know I can search, but are there shortcuts around this place?
  
  Chat is a community at the beehaw.org instance If you copy and past the link into the search bar in your instance you should be able to find it, sometimes it takes a couple of tries if nobody is subscribed to that community on your instance. Also, the link !chat@beehaw.org should also work I believe?
  
  Thank you for taking the time :) for once, it has finally clicked that I can drop the topic@instance on the end of my "signed in" instance domain with a /c/. Man, people who aren't computer people or curious thinkers will never figure this place out.
  Although maybe that's a good thing.
  
  Yeah there are a bunch of ways to do things. And tbh, I didn't do it that way ever myself. But true that does work.
  It currently really is a place for tinkerers
