Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday?

    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?

    source

    • Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

  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

  source

  • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

    source

    • Primer81@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 🫠

      What a stupid comment, if you actually took the time to read and understood your replies then maybe you’d actually learn something from them, rather than just disregarding everyone who responds to you.

  • grue@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Downvotes sometimes make me want to clarify what I wrote on the assumption that it got misinterpreted.

    source

    • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Has that ever worked for you?

      I do it a lot and can’t think of a single time it worked.

    My thought was more “which of the things I wrote triggered such a reaction?” I’m often surprised.

    source
  • obinice@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

  • FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

    source
  • finitebanjo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I’ve admitted I was wrong a few times, but never from downvotes or dumb responses. You gotta cite good sources to get a reversal out of me.

  • khannie@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

    source

    • sxan@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

      source
  • ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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

    source
  • daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

    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.

    If I’m ever wrong. I delete that comment and pretend it didn’t happen. Or if someone actually makes a good counter argument I just go “meh, don’t feel like replying” and leave them unread. I do the worst crime. I’ll be 10 replies in and I won’t even downvote their last comment to let them know I read it. I’m sure it’s infuriating.

      source
    • Cryophilia@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Since there’s no serious answer: hexbear is a highly toxic instance that has been defederated by most other instances. However, their users will keep tabs on what’s said on other instances, and they’ll occasionally show up en masse with alt accounts to attack something that particularly enraged them.

      Many of them are…not quite mentally stable.

      They’re probably the single largest base of tankie support. For them, America = bad, and anyone opposed to America = good. They pretend to care about communism etc but they’re really just anti-American. Saying anything negative about China gets you instantly banned.

  A bunch are usually people disagreeing and making up situations to make themselves right… i.e., you posit that the sky appeared blue when you went outside today, the replies are: not if it’s night, not during cloudy days, etc. and at least one that sounds like they disagree but are reiterating what you just said.

  source

  • sxan@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I’ve made this observation before, but the funniest thing about Lemmy is that !ShowerThoughts posts elicit more controversy than !UnpopularOpinion. Like, someone posts “I love pineapple on pizza” in !ShowerThoughts, and it’s downvoted to hell with people writing long essays about how pineapple on pizza is justification for bringing back shock treatment. The same thing posted to !UnpopularOpinion brings out a mob of people saying how not unpopular an opinion that is, quoting statistics about how Hawaiian Pizza is the most popular pizza in America. It’s absolutely hilarious, and one of the few areas where the Lemmy community is truly contrarian just for contrarian’s sake.

    With the exception of populations of some instances which I won’t hex by bearishly naming, and a few individually excessive dicks (or trolls, but I think most are really just assholes), the Lemmy community tends to argue in good faith, admit when they’re wrong or have had their minds changed, and are generally polite netizens in most exchanges. But !ShowerThoughts and !UnpopularOpinion just being out the contrarian in people, for some reason.

      people writing long essays about how pineapple on pizza is justification for bringing back shock treatment.

      I’m here for the essays. To read them…and to write them.

      Have to get it out of my brain.

      source
    • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Unpopular opinion is just posting things that plenty of people actually agree with. Like pineapple pizza. An actual unpopular opinion would be something like agreeing with restricting abortion or something difficult that elicits very strong feelings.

  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…?”

  Usually its when I either offend the libs on world or the fake leftists on ml/hexbear. Sometimes if I’m particularly skilled I piss off both of them at the exact same time (usually by advocating for true liberation for the working class not under a so called “vanguard” but by and for the workers themselves)
