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

  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

    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.

    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.

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

      Has that ever worked for you?

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

    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

    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.

    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.

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

    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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

    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.

      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.

      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 🫠

  Often followed by, “I said that?”

  source

  • saltesc@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

    source

    • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Or they keep explaining what you already said because they don’t understand nuance or context.

  And then all of them are “Nicole”.

  • Tungsten5@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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?

    source

    • Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

      Still haven’t gotten one. Guess the bots don’t like me.

    I guess I’m not special enough, Nicole doesn’t want to talk to me.

    update private_message set deleted = true from person where person.id = private_message.creator_id and person.actor_id in ('https://lemmy.cafe/u/nicole');
