When "I gotta post on this" turns into "no one cares what I think" real quick. (I almost deleted this)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or I don't know how to write what I want to say

Language arts teacher here: for a generation that conducts the majority of your social life in text format... You should have paid more attention in my class!

Sometimes it turns into "fuck it, I'll inflict myself on everyone's eyes anyway". (The temptation to delete is strong though)

If I can't be a warrior in the frontlines, let me be one on the keyboard at least

Do it anyway. Lemmy will sink or swim based on interaction.

We need your comments!

Yeah I end up blathering away more now on Lemmy than I did on Reddit. Like some post over there with 1000 comments: 1, nobody's reading them all and 2, somebody already commented what I was going to say.

Fuck it. Post it anyways, it is all fake internet points.

[–] potoo22 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No karma in Lemmy. We can't keep track of internet points.

[–] slazer2au 2 points 1 year ago

So that makes them extra fake.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

My first post!

[–] Jackcooper 8 points 1 year ago

I feel like I'm going to post more aggressively here than Reddit because 1) this place needs content 2) you can actually be seen, even in popular posts which was not the case in Reddit 3) less echo chamber shit (I think)

[–] 21Cabbage 8 points 1 year ago

Hey get out of my head.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I end up posting the comment and regretting it 5 minutes later, so I go back to delete it lol

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It happens to me too often because I always believe people will shit on what I have to say. Gotta improve my confidence.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not me, writing a response to this... then deleting it because it's not good enough 🙈

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The number of times I write a response and posting it just won't work is also too damn high

[–] QuazarOmega 4 points 1 year ago

When sh.itdont.works

[–] LemmySoloHer 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[Insert Padme/Anakin 4 panel meme] [Padme]: But you're going to reply to this comment, aren't you?

[Padme]: Aren't you?

[–] 00Lemming 2 points 1 year ago

stares intensely

[–] drmoose 6 points 1 year ago

Just do it! I have a few doozies in my comment history but I think it was fun experience either way. Worst case you learn what sucks, best case you discover some cool new social interactions.

[–] topinambour_rex 5 points 1 year ago

Same. I feel like it's either useless or oit of subject.

[–] wutamisposedtodo 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Regardless of the perceived merit of your post I think we would all just appreciate a little more participation here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm precipitating!

[–] linearchaos 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know, for me quality definitely wins out over quantity.

[–] gusals3587 3 points 1 year ago

Hey, atleast I'm still upvote/downvoting

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thank you for using "number of" instead of incorrectly using amount as is the current trend.

[–] swade2569 3 points 1 year ago

I can’t claim too much credit, this meme is from the before times.

[–] QuazarOmega 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Non-native here, can you explain why?

[–] tauonite 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] QuazarOmega 1 points 1 year ago

Ah thanks!
It's kinda weird to me, but I guess it makes sense in the context of English having distinct words for countable and not

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Amount is for things you cannot count. For example, an amount of water. If you can count it, use number of.

HOWEVER, English is not a dead language, so the definition of amount may just be changing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

And yet here we are.

[–] ThaijsClan 2 points 1 year ago

Happens all the t.... Ah nvm

[–] MajinBlayze 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

For me it's half the time when a community requires a language and my preferred app doesn't support selecting one yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are worse problems 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

People are allowed to joke about minor annoyances, Benda. Lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who’s stopping that? I laughed in my own comment. I have the opposite problem of posting comments I should probably not bother with. Like this one.
