      there is very clearly a group that are friends and treat each other logging on like the second coming of Jesus or something

      I’m so glad I’ve collected the kind of friends who generally barely acknowledge each other, especially immediately upon logging in.

        I always find it a bit creepy when it is clear someone has someone else on watch and they start gushing over them on the channel when they log in, but haven’t even ; waved or said ‘hi’ yet.

        It also kind of bums me out if I end up logging in day after day and get tumbleweeds, but there is very clearly a group that are friends and treat each other logging on like the second coming of Jesus or something.

        Obviously there is nothing objectively wrong with these behaviours and people can say hi to who they want. But, it is a peeves thread and I am allowed to find the behaviour personally irritating, also!

        Seconding this. Sometimes I just need a minute to get my bearings, especially if I’m coming from work, dealing with the kids, trying to settle down myself. We’re no longer in the glomps era. The age of glomp is over, the time of “hey” has come.

                I do wish there were a way to tag people in Ares so it gives them a channel notification.

                Not everyone likes me, but not everyone matters.

                  I am just not the sort of person to greet newcomers like a Labrador Retriever aggressively licking your face.

                  I’m more like an old tortoiseshell cat who’s in the house… somewhere. And will probably notice your presence within the hour, or when you shake the treat bag.

                  You guys are socialising in channels? That’s wild.

                    I enjoy socializing in channels! I will usually say hi if I happen to be looking at it. Admittedly, on Ares, I often am not looking at it. Or I’m distracted. So it’s a bit of a shotgun friendliness punctuated by long periods of doing something else.

                      yeah, like I will absolutely say HI to 3 people and then immediately leave the keys for any amount of time, so it’s always going to be sporadic.

                      I def get the other side, sometimes I also get that whole ‘ok but why not me am i not fun’ and then I have to remind myself of all the contradicting evidence

                        This is a big thing. I absolutely do this myself, even though I know a) it’s not true, and it’s b) me actively ruining my own enjoyment over things I am making up in my head.

                        My peeve really is me.

                          I want people to feel welcome, but I don’t want to engage because I’m tired as fuck or distracted as hell. I’m happy to see you. I just need a nap and four more hours in the day.

                              The above discussion is why I will not have logon messages if I make a game.

                                My level of channel engagement is completely random and subject to the ebb and flow of my energy level, that includes greetings.

                                That being said, it’s never really occurred to me that people would feel miffed by my lack of attention; I just subconsciously assume they thought they dodged a bullet.

                                I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
                                I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
                                I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

                                      Ngl, I do get a little sad when I say “hi game” or “hello folks” and not a single person responds. But also, no one is required to greet me. Sometimes people do, and sometimes they don’t and I tell my goblin brain to stop being an idiot and assuming it’s because they HATE me and rather they are probably busy.

                                      Except when they immediately greet someone else within a minute time frame. Then my goblin brain wins.

                                          But just imagine how good the TS is! They both know exactly what the other wants!

                                          Not everyone likes me, but not everyone matters.
