It's the same amount of filtering like the other reply.
It comes down to wanting social interactions without having to go through that small talk stuff that most people need to go through in real life.
I also do volunteer my time as well. Although I do understand concern for making the best use of one's time.
I only messaged people whom I felt there was potential.
The same filtering applies though because you can attend things where there aren't many people you could relate to or you can only relate with that one particular interest and nothing else.
If I talk to someone on a music forum, then you could talk about that music artist. Then from there if they list on their profile that they like the soccer team, Barcelona, and the movie, The Matrix, (for examples), then I send them a message:
"Hi, so what's your favorite album by [music artist]? Mine is probably _____. Have you been catching up on how Barcelona is doing? I also like the Matrix movie. If you were in Neo's position, would you choose the red or blue pill? I would probably pick blah blah because blah blah.

I’m massively interested to know what you said in your opening messages.
