I hate these because its impossible to remember people unless they had some super cool thing. my usual go to is “I’m Nora and I can scuba dive.” which is cool and fine, but I could talk about that, and its so much more interesting and useful to find what people enjoy about their things.
as an example, you said you like reading! I enjoy a good book too! what are some of your favorite books and genres? do you have a Lemmy community you go to for book stuff? Tell me about a book you hate!
theres so many questions people could ask, but never do, so everyone becomes horribly forgettable.
