I started playing like, a bit over a year ago now and I definitely felt it was hard to try and engage with anyone, since it felt like everyone was already in their own bubble of injokes and backstory that they were already happy with. I feel like it would be beneficial for EVERYONE to just random name occasionally, because like what others have said its something you can easily be doing and not even realizing it.
I feel its on the people who are already "trusted" or "in" to metaphorically shove the door open and like Em said, lead by example. We were all once the blank faced unknown who was stumbling around with no idea what was going on. Remembering to have empathy for others is a pretty big thing, its so so so easy to forget on the other side is just another person who just wants to have fun playing silly space game.
