as a general rule of thumb, if we haven't talked before and you message me something like "hi" or "can i ask you a question?" im not gonna respond. just get to your point. otherwise i just assume you're a scammer or something

I remember on Twitter like 3 years ago I said something like this and got dragged super hard by teenagers being like "so you cant even say hi to people anymore???
hi :3
I don't think people realize that conversations face-to-face require a different kind of indicator that the other person wants to listen so they think they need to apply that in text? Like you don't need to have their attention in the moment. Just write out everything you wanna say
"Hi, Helix! I had a question regarding so-and-so skip in [insert Super Monkey Ball Game here] Do you think you could help me out or at least point me in the right direction so I can get the hang of it?"
Maybe this is classist??? Idk like ive spent a metric shitload of time talking to people online and having to write formal letters/emails so maybe it's just experience? Or like they've never seen appropriate examples?

i don't even like it when FRIENDS say "can i ask you a question" or some basic shit like that. please for the love of jod just start the conversation I don't have the social battery or patience for allat 😭
(unless i think you're cute then i might respond)
Obligatory nohello.com mention Coworkers who do this drive me nuts!
