there are no hard rules for human interaction but honestly i think everyone online would benefit hugely from operating under the assumption that, unless you have been given a specific reason to think otherwise in discrete instances, internet strangers do not want to be approached with:

• your trauma, illnesses, or deep-rooted self worth issues
• any come-ons or sexual content
  
• over-familiar playful rudeness
  
• information about your dnd characters/ocs
• disagreements with their harmless subjective opinions
  

if it is your first time speaking with someone i can not highly enough recommend that these do not be your opening topics

John Scalzi likes to remind us that, the failure mode for “clever” is “asshole.”

Don’t be a dick.
