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

And then all of them are "Nicole".

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

My first thought is always "Must be Nicole the Fediverse chick again" 😂

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

Often followed by, "I said that?"

I know what I said, y'all's angst feeds me.

This would all be easier if you all just agreed with me, the always correct person.

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.....?"

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.

Usually means you got featured on hexbear

How do I post a photo in comments? New here due to Reddit ban.

This is my primary use of reddit.

Late night shitposting, i instantly forget, and seeing lots of interesting comments in the morning.

Look at all these replies! I can't wait to tell all these internet randos how wrong they are!

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)

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.

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.

True dat mate.

Did you criticize the left?

Also, what was happening in that other site many of us used to be in so interactions between the same people talking the same points were so rare?

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

it amazes me with what gets the most attention.

Oh I'm used to it, I know I have some controversial opinions.

Hot take incoming: New 3DS XL is the best handheld Nintendo has ever made. Not only can it play every generation of Nintendo games prior, it's the latest clamshell they made, and it even has super cool exclusives for it like the awesome GTA 3 and GTA VC (admittedly the VC one is a bit rough) ports.

Usually there's enough context and it's recent enough I sort of remember. I haven't had a lot of ancient replies here, but Reddit was great for that, and that's exactly what I would think. What the hell are they talking about? What was really surreal was rereading what I wrote and vaguely remembering it, but sometimes the wording being a bit different than what I might say now. Not necessarily the point, just how I said it, as people do change with age. I don't regret anything I've every said though, it's why I've left my Reddit account alone, that plus it would probably be undeleted anyway and I've moved on.

"Ah shit, here we go again."

Normally people just hardcore virtue signaling.

I usually know if something I say will get a bunch of replies, plus I normally use Lemmy most actively in the morning and at night so it happens regularly.
