I reply to most of the replies I receive. At least those that seem to warrant a reply.
Probably about half of my replies are ones I would expect a reply in return.

Yeah. This is a challenge. So many provide a reply that cannot be replied to. Overall, pretty worthless.
An example: agreed.
While it might be applicable and valid in some cases, if that is all one is doing, it doesnt amount to much.
I call that shit "a conversation stopper". Two word, three word replies that require no further interaction. Some years back, I even wrote an article about how to start and continue meaningful conversations on the blockchain. A lot of frens need to learn that.
Questions are a great way to start a conversation.
But you are right, really a shit way to kill any engagement.
People need to jump in the conversation of others like they do on X.
How many do that?
I feel sad that the level of threads and engagement under them is really low, but I we'll keep on trying. This place needs a bunch of active users that are here to stay. I'll keep on bringing new friends and motivating them not to leave.
Drop some topics of conversation in here. It is sort of a repository for engagement/conversations.

I almost also want to say "agreed", but let me leave it at this.
Let me add this. A reply should initiate a conversation and as such, a plain "agreed" as you stated isn't the way to go. It is as good as no response.
Well, once in a while, it is not bad to end a convo with an agreed.
But if this is one's primary means of interaction, there is a problem.
Yes, of course.
Indeed there is. It is more of an issue of not putting enough thought into the response and just saying something that comes easily.
Yeah. They think that is how to get the numbers up. They need to understand their engagement will go up exponentially if they simply interact like a conversation.
It is easy to have 5-10 back and forths then.
Do that 10 times a day and we have something.
Exactly. Being natural and open to conversation is the way to go. Not just the simple default responses. They'll get to even connect better that way.
Yeap. I am new to Hive though, but I am being mentored. When he said engage not just reply something I gave it more thought and I try to put a part of me out there when sending a reply.
I totally agree. 💯
It isnt that difficult. Just let things flow naturally. Simply dive in and just start talking like you would at a gathering, party, or bar.
Simply talk, ask questions, shares items of interest. If you see something interesting, comment on it.
Agreed. haha
Definitely needs to be balance between a well thought out reply and just a well placed gif or few words.
Yeah. Not that the latter isnt valid. It can be. A good way to highlight things and add a bit of levity.
