My first thought is always “Must be Nicole the Fediverse chick again” 😂
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.
Me is, how stoned was I.
At least unlike reddit people aren’t directly insulting you.
Usually means you got featured on hexbear
what’s hexbear
If you don’t know, count yourself hella lucky and move on with your day.
What does your uid signify?
It’s the sexy new British emergency number lol
A fictional entity used by right wingers on Lemmy to victimize themselves.
When you had hex with a bear last night but can’t remember.
Immediately go to my comments to see whats getting downvoted to hell.
I just assume I said something factually wrong and now dozens of helpful people are lining up to correct me.
Uhm, acshually… ☝️
Often followed by, “I said that?”
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.
Or they keep explaining what you already said because they don’t understand nuance or context.
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.
O, i know the feeling
True dat mate.
it amazes me with what gets the most attention.
The biggest responses I’ve ever gotten by far have all been asking for alternatives to popular tech. 😏
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.
Yeah, I was thinking more about seeing the count: my client shows the inbox unread count at the bottom. 4 is not unusual, but when I see over 12, much less 24, my first thought is: “oh, shit. What did I say??”
Once I open the inbox, it becomes clear pretty quickly, that’s true.
Did you criticize the left?
