Large enthusiastic texts as in large texts about topics, you have common with the other person and enthusiastic about.
I am a person who prefers texts over calls. Maybe that might be the reason, the people I have in my circles are more into calls than texts.
But this happened with my online friends as well whose only mode of communication is via texts.
I used to have a friend who would do so but with the topics only he was interested in lol but I used to kinda act like I’m listening to him by asking small questions . He did try to complement my listening skills once. We used to chat for hours together. Sadly life moved on and he branched away from my friend circle (which is kinda non-existent rn because life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
Or am I just too boring or loud? Is this a bad habit? Sometimes I can’t stop making walls of texts. (Oops here I go again)
Side note: Subscribe to c!doesanybodyelse@lemmy.world and help it grow. I wanted to make a post there but it was really dead. (It doesn’t have to be a lemmy.world instance.)
Gen thing is pretty simple. People from that particular gen get used to doing things in a way that is famous in their gen. They see what the other people are doing in their age and copy them to feel more inclusive.
PCs were famous and trendy in previous generation. Now it’s mobile phones. This is why we see gen z not being able to operate PC like their phones and previous gen not being able to do the vice versa. Pretty simple concept imo.
Coming to second part of your message, yes I’m trying to be in on these long form media and this is why I started to post on Lemmy lot recently. But also I have feeling there are people like me who could match my enthusiasm who are worth finding and for the rest of the people I’ll try to send smaller texts as many have advised here 👍
