Reply to comment by arto64 in High-Five strangers over the internet by arto64

I see. Maybe there could me a minimalist message picker or something? Like you could hit the high five button and then choose one of five messages to send along with it?

That would keep it simple and without negativity, but still increase the interaction a bit more.

Just a thought!

I think it would just ruin the concept. Some things are better remained simple.

Agreed. Leave it be a high five and only that

Why not just use discord or reddit or any number of other places if you want to chat with new people? Not saying this as a diss but I think that would take the website away from its real intent.

Not trying to have full on conversations to meet people — just low stakes interactions!

Honestly it just felt to me like the high fives were empty and I was trying to think of a way to make them feel more meaningful.

Discord is something completely different.

Discord has always felt pretty low risk to me at least. Just don’t be an idiot on it obviously
