There is no evidence their curiosity is ingenuine, that's your image of them but it doesn't have a basis in reality. It's based in your biases and preconceptions about social media.

I'll refrain from criticizing you for being a chauvinist if you agree to take that behavior someplace else, because it's not for this community. Save that for some toxic no-holds-barred social media. Maybe think on whether your actions are contributing to the social media environment you decry.

No thanks. You don’t get to define what is toxic behavior nor do you speak for this community or others.

Also, grab a dictionary. Your usage of chauvinist here is incorrect.

They already said they need information about events to have something to talk about. That’s not how conversations work, nor is it how you establish new friendships or build and maintain existing relationships.

> It's based in your biases and preconceptions about social media.

Well they are biases (yours is showing) but they’re not preconceptions, they are just conceptions.

You don't get to define your behavior as nontoxic, either. I'm not arguing about what words mean.
