How round robins work: How they work is a person starts a story by laying out the first sentence, and a reply comes up with the next sentence to the story, and whatever replies to that reply becomes the next sentence, and so on and so forth. So it’s like if Twitch wrote a novel, though it’s a classic game, one that serves as a remedy for writers’ block that also happens to be fun.
First person to reply starts the story.
That was just Lemmy/browser being dumb with refresh.
