How conversations work here

Mara Ellison·

Threads live in halls. A thread is the original thought; replies nest beneath it. You can reply to the thread or to a specific remark.

Likes are a quiet nod, not a scoreboard. They help later readers find the posts that carried the room.

If a thread is locked, the original still stands and you can still read it. Start a new thread if you want to keep going.

Search looks through titles and bodies. It is honest, not clever — use the words you remember.

    The map metaphor is right. I have been in rooms where the welcome thread became a complaint box by week two. Locking Notices is a kindness.

    Search being honest is underrated. I would rather type the word I remember than learn a second grammar.
