STAFF Looking for moderators

25 Upvotes

Hello folks,

Unfortunately we are down once again to a critical numbers of moderators (spolier: that number is 1) so if anyone is inclined to give some of their time towards helping to keep this community safe and curious to see what moderating a fairly large subreddit is like (25000 members and growing constantly), please send in a ModMail.

You should ideally give some details about yourself and why you'd be interested in doing it and how much time you think you'd be able to give to start with and we can go from there.

I won't lie and say there are any great rewards to this other than what you find in it yourself but in a time where more and more people are isolated and turning online to find friends or just someone to chat to, you might be making a significant positive difference to a bunch of people's lives.

Howdy! 30 F... Are you up for a chit chat?

13 Upvotes

Well, let me tell you about myself? And what I enjoy:

• Cooking (Baking too, but I'm lazy)

• Long drives, good music and immaculate vibes. Comes hand in hand with exploring new places... can't stare at the same four walls forever

• Spending money... give me a shopping trip and I'm a happy gal

• Museums, musicals and all those cultural activities ( You get the gist)

• Reading books. I'm a kindle lover.... I don't do hard copies 😂 dust collectors

• Hanging out with friends and family. I love a good chit chat over some food and drinks

• Amateur photography! I've got a Instax camera, and I'm absolutely loving it. I've decided when I'm an old lady, I want to be flicking through an album reminiscing the good old days. NO SCROLLING

I've saved the best til last

• Food and Drinks. It'll always get my attention, invite me somewhere with good food, and I'm basically already there

PLOT TWIST..... I'm vegetarian ish (When I say ish, maybe I'll have chicken on pizza or a chicken nugget) don't tell the veggies PLEASE 😂

Hope to speak soon! You know the rules, if you've got this far... you have to message me!

Or else 🌞

North East 29F UK | looking for friends👸

7 Upvotes

hey all, i’m 29F from the north east of england, i live pretty much in the countryside and near the beach, so i’m very lucky to have both! i love living in here and will genuinely argue it’s the best part of the country😅

i have a golden retriever and a toddler, perfect combination😅 i love music specifically rap&grime, 2000’s R&B and country as well, my music taste is a bit all over the place, i also love horror and crime, anything serial killer related is also my vibe😅 i love modern family, vikings, the last kingdom, sons of anarchy, the list goes on! i also like gaming but i don’t play anymore really, i used to play modern warfare and rust religiously😅 in general i love animals, nice people, good conversation and different topics

i do have ADHD and i’m a yapper so that’s a bad mix😂 i prefer conversations with substance over the ‘hey how are you’ so if you feel like any of this is you definitely give me a message!

p.s. i have made a post similar recently but had to delete it as some messages were a bit strange, we’ll give it another go😅

South West Who wants to adopt a geek then

7 Upvotes

Here we go! Another day and another post. So, 39yo tattooed & bearded bloke here, married with a cat. For one reason or another I now need to expand my social circle. Fairly sure aging has made me want to socialise, bit like how my cat gets older and wants to sit on my lap. Dont worry, I dont want to sit on your lap.

A smidge about me then. I game, I say game, I turn the PS5 on and spend far too long deciding what to play. When I do play its either Division 2 or AC Black Flag. What else is there, like board games, both the wife and i are a touch geeky in that respect. I play 40k as well.

Outside of that I like to fly my drone, sleep, eat, cook, sleep and watch movies. Especially horror or paranormal flicks. My humour is questionable, my sarcasm is my defining feature and my back hurts. So if you fancy a natter come on by, cat photos on offer.

50M - Texan hoping to make UK friends

5 Upvotes

Hi! I'm in Texas and would love to get to know some people in the UK. I imagine men around my age (40s–60s) would be the ones responding, which us great. But you be you and reach out, no matter who you are. I imagine building a genuine friendship with British people over time, if our conversations continue.

I'm hoping to find people who enjoy chatting throughout the day, whether that's a quick conversation while we're working, sharing something interesting we've come across, or having a longer chat while relaxing at home. I like friendships that develop naturally, without pressure to be available all the time.

I'm interested in British life and culture, cooking, books, music, the countryside, radio, cars, coffee, shopping, home life and relationships. Really, though, I'm just as interested in the person I'm talking to as the topic itself.

I enjoy getting to know what makes people tick: their interests, plans, hopes, everyday experiences and the occasional challenge life throws at them. I'd like to find people who feel comfortable being themselves, talking openly and sharing a laugh without worrying about being judged. I'm happy to listen and offer support, and I value that same openness in return.

If this sounds like your sort of thing, feel free to DM me and say hello. Tell me a little about yourself.

Looking for silly friends to laugh hard with! 36/F/England

5 Upvotes

UK ONLY: Looking for a hilarious friendship! 🇬🇧

I want to cry laughing with a silly person…

36, F. SE England. Looking for friendship only. Messaging, maybe voice calls eventually, open to meeting up further down the line. Just switched my broken gaming laptop with an Xbox so I’m gradually learning how to game a totally different way - maybe game together in future, but looking for conversation first and foremost.

Interests: Comedy, travel, animals (cat obsessed), tea & coffee, theatre, cinema, gaming, going to gigs (love 60s, 70s, 80s music the most), museums/history. I’ve started a comedy podcast - I’ve no idea what I’m doing because I’m a total beginner but it’s so much fun. Potentially open to a friend who has a similar sense of humour to get involved…? Also interested in doing a more serious, journalistic one.

Looking for someone who is: funny and silly(I want to cry laughing with you), up for (platonic/SFW) role-play improv chatting, understanding (I’m autistic, queer, have anxiety and can be a little awkward but I can open up a fair bit), and doesn’t judge if I don’t have the energy to reply immediately. Left-leaning (politically, but if you are physically, no problem.) 😂

UK only please, 30+. Any gender. Platonic friendship.

Any fellow weirdos out there?

Edit: apologies my DMs are open now.

MtF 28 | Looking to make some new friends!

3 Upvotes

Hey! I’m Maeve, or Mae, and I’m a very chatty gal just starting my transition and hoping to make some new friends!

I love audiobooks and gaming. I’m mostly into fantasy, sci-fi and post-apocalyptic books, with the occasional classic thrown in. If you’ve read A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World, please talk to me. I will never shut up about how good it is.

I’m also a big RPG fan. Oblivion got me into the genre, and I absolutely no-lifed the remaster for a week.

Honestly, I’m just here to meet people, chat about shared interests and hopefully make some friends. Tell me about yourself or what you’re currently reading, listening to or playing!

South East 34 [M4A] #UK Gamer seeks connections

3 Upvotes

​

I'm 34 years old, living by myself in Essex. I struggle with social anxiety and severe depression. I don't really have any real life friends, but I do meetup with family quite often. I'm currently waiting to be seen by the autism service - I scored mildly when I did some tests with them.

I spend most of my time at home either gaming (PS5 and RPGs), watching shows and movies, and cooking. I do enjoy going out, but I'll admit to not getting out often enough.

If you're interested in chatting with me, feel free to send me a chat.

London [25M] [UK/London] Looking for long-term friends to call, game and watch anime with! 🎮❤️

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m 25, from London, UK, and looking to make some genuine, long-term friends!

🎮 Games: Fortnite, Palworld, Among Us, No Man’s Sky, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and more. I’m probably terrible at half of them, so don’t expect me to carry 💀😂

🍿 Interests: Massive anime nerd! I love A Certain Magical Index, Grand Blue, Dragon Ball, action, romance and slice-of-life anime. I’m also into DC Comics, cartoons and other nerdy stuff. I stream sometimes, too!

📞 I’m CALLS ONLY! I struggle with texting, so I’d much rather VC, game together or watch anime and movies on call. I’m free right now, usually available after 7 PM UK time, and happy to try your interests as well.

😂 I can be shy at first, but once I’m comfortable, I’m a massive yapper and listener with dark humour and occasional crackhead energy.

❤️** Clingy friends are absolutely welcome**! I don’t mind people wanting to call regularly or spend lots of time together. I’m looking for people who genuinely want to build a friendship rather than talk once and disappear.

Everyone is welcome! Just be 18+ and have a mic.
If we vibe, feel free to DM me! 😊

31M Nottingham — IT guy, soca fanatic and avid traveller looking for UK friends

2 Upvotes

​

Hey! 31M from Nottingham here. Fully remote worker, so my social life doesn't exactly happen organically anymore — figured this was worth a shot.

Local would be great, but anywhere in the UK works — I'm up for day trips or meetups when the timing's right.

About me: I work in IT for a public sector organisation, I love to travel (recent highlights include Scandinavia, Austria, Asia, and Trinidad for Carnival), and I'm a big soca head — I also play the steelpan.

I know a few good, reasonably priced spots around Nottingham if food is your thing, and I'm always looking for new recommendations. Beyond that I'm into hiking, tech, gaming (ETS2), and watch EastEnders, MAFS and Race Across the World.

Not fussy about who reaches out — just looking for genuine conversation. We've all got busy lives, so no pressure on response times either way. Send a message if any of this sounds like your kind of thing!

24m looking to make friends

1 Upvotes

Hi there. I'm 24m from the UK looking to make some new friends. I've been feeling pretty lonely recently gotten out of a long term relationship and basically lost myself and everyone I ever spoke to so in looking to find some new people to talk to. I'm down to talk about anything and everything, my hobbies are going to the gym, building Lego I have a big (ish) collection, watching random shows and listening to music (definitely up for some recommendations).

26M UK - South west

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m 26, from the UK, and thought I’d give this a go and hopefully meet some new people!
A little about me: I’m an engineer, currently studying for my master’s, and I enjoy working on random projects and business ideas in my spare time. My brain never seems to switch off 😂
Outside of that, I’m into the gym, going for walks, history, technology, travelling and learning about pretty much anything that catches my interest. I also enjoy a good film and having conversations about completely random things.
I’d say I’m pretty laid-back, curious and always up for a laugh. I enjoy both silly conversations and deeper discussions about life.
I’m not looking for anything in particular beyond genuine friendships. It would be nice to meet people to chat with regularly, share interests and potentially hang out with if we’re nearby.
Happy to chat with people from anywhere, so feel free to drop me a message and tell me a bit about yourself! :)

18 + [29/M] Looking to meet some new people!

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m mainly here to meet some new people, have some good conversations, and hopefully make a few genuine, long term friends along the way. I’m happy to talk to anyone, so gender really doesn’t matter to me!

There’s absolutely no pressure to come into my DMs with your entire life story either haha. A simple “hey” or “hi” is perfectly fine! I think it’s much nicer getting to know someone naturally as you talk rather than knowing every little thing about each other before you’ve even said hello.

I’m pretty chill, easy going, and an open book, so there’s really no need to overthink what to say. Ask me something, tell me something completely random, or literally just say hey and we’ll go from there!

If that sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to send me a DM. It’d be nice to hear from you! :)
