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

[–] Mewtwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 years 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

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

We need your comments!

[–] Smatt@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

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.

My first post!

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years 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@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Hey get out of my head.

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

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

[Padme]: Aren't you?

[–] 00Lemming@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

stares intensely

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] QuazarOmega@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

When sh.itdont.works

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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.

[–] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] wutamisposedtodo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Pixelphoria@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I'm precipitating!

[–] gusals3587@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Hey, atleast I'm still upvote/downvoting

[–] Hemlock@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] swade2569@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] QuazarOmega@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Non-native here, can you explain why?

[–] tauonite@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] QuazarOmega@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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

[–] Bendavisunlv6@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There are worse problems 😂

[–] Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Bendavisunlv6@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] ThaijsClan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Happens all the t.... Ah nvm

[–] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 10 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.

[–] HunterBidensLapDog@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago

And yet here we are.
