Normally people just hardcore virtue signaling.
Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday?

Oh she’s using a new picture now?

I just got mine today, like some tribal initiation

Still haven’t gotten one. Guess the bots don’t like me.
Gerudo@lemm.ee 11 hours ago
I guess I’m not special enough, Nicole doesn’t want to talk to me.
Tungsten5@lemm.ee 6 hours ago
I got a message from nicole with a pic. I thought it was a scammer or something. Just a one off thing. Is that not the case? Is Nicole a lemmy thing?
Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 hours ago
Nope, your first instinct is right, it’s a spammer. But it’s one of the few spammers that almost everyone has run into, so it’s just a joke. Like saying you met a Nigerian prince who offered you a huge sum of money.

Most of the time I know exactly what I’m getting if I see more than maybe 3+ comments. Usually it’s me saying something anti-communist, something on brand enough for me.

I just assume I said something factually wrong and now dozens of helpful people are lining up to correct me.

Is it normal for people to regret what they said on here? Because I tend not to change my mind from downvotes and dumb responses. I do block people though
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
My only regrets are having to read stupid responses that completely missed the point of what I said because they want to argue with what they think I said.
Occasionally I learn something new from responses, which changes my perspective.
Primer81@lemmy.zip 11 hours ago
I agree - A lot of people seem so prepared for someone to disagree with them that they seem to misfire on people they agree with. I try to avoid this by starting my comments with “I agree” 😊 … though even then some people still get confused 🫠
grue@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Downvotes sometimes make me want to clarify what I wrote on the assumption that it got misinterpreted.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Has that ever worked for you?
I do it a lot and can’t think of a single time it worked.
FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 hours ago
I don’t want to deal with arguing and people pleasing. I don’g have the energy for it. So I’m on an instance with downvotes disabled and rarely check my inbox.
sxan@midwest.social 11 hours ago
My thought was more “which of the things I wrote triggered such a reaction?” I’m often surprised.
obinice@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I mean well, and I want to have hope for the future, but I’m depressed and have untreated ADHD and a desperate need for therapy, and I do worry that I’m letting all that influence how I talk to strangers online.
I’m probably too harsh sometimes, or not harsh enough, or dumb, or stupid, etc, more often than I’d like.
So yeah, I generally regret or worry over everything I say to everyone at some point or another. I suck xD But I’m too lonely to switch off and not talk to anyone entirely, so here we are.
khannie@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
My own experience with this was posting a shower thoughts thread while quite inebriated, forgetting I’d done it then waking up with a fairly full inbox so nothing controversial or argumentative.
sxan@midwest.social 11 hours ago
My experience is that I reply to a lot of things, and post very few, and in no case do I have even a vague notion about how many comments what I write will generate. I can guess the vector magnitude of up/down votes, but never the amount of interaction, where people take time to reply.
ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 hours ago
Absolutely, it is only human to make mistakes. Of course there are time where someone gives a stupid reply but there are also times where that is not the case. If it were the assumption would be that I am right about everything, which is asinine
daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 hours ago
I I do actually second thought what I said. As I can be as wrong as any. And if I’m wrong I’m ought to change my mind.
But it’s true that I rarely change my mind unless there’s a truly convincing argument.

A fictional enemy used by right wingers on Lemmy to victimize themselves.

At least unlike reddit people aren’t directly insulting you.

Immediately go to my comments to see whats getting downvoted to hell.
miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 hours ago
Often followed by, “I said that?”
saltesc@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Then you read your original comment and, no, you didn’t say that; someone’s just trying to gaslight you or they’re straw manning.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
Or they keep explaining what you already said because they don’t understand nuance or context.
Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 11 hours ago
If your in for a wild ride, you can post something like “Steam sucks”, or ask anything about “Hexbear”. If you just want positive attention, go with “What’s the best distro for…?”
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 11 hours ago
Steam does suck though? It’s hard to use, and most things are better boiled/blanched or fried.
Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 10 hours ago
Looks like we have a noob that wouldn’t survive 10 minutes in a kitchen lobby. Everyone knows that cooking with steam preserves nutrients, enhances flavor, and retains the natural texture of food.

If you just want positive attention, go with “What’s the best distro for…?”
Clearly the best distro is Windows 10!

Got me.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Lmao yeah sometimes. Since I mostly shitpost I just assume that the posts have had the intended effect of either making people laugh or working them up a little about something they care about. Just enough to make them share some stuff they’re really passionate about. I like hearing people’s unfiltered opinions.
