Hey man, 12 upvotes is a lot in my community!
My community has like, seven people in it so if I get twelve things are exciting.
Depends on the context meme? No. Interesting Post? Absolutely.
Comments give me dopamine*
*unless they give me cortisol
hey its me ur dopamine
Sup
Where you been? I wanted to go to sleep last night at a reasonable time.
My paranoid ass: “lmao knew it”
In the spirit of spreading dopamine, I love this way of putting it and may steal this.
Hey its me your cortisol
I wish I had something important to say in this moment
Same.
have an updoot :)
you have more than 12 now … which is not a lot apparently :(
Oh shit, I’m rich
But not comment rich.
How much is comment rich? 60? 70?
I’ve had those on here; let’s call it 100.
A Djin suddenly appears on your phone screen.
“Wish? Important!? Say!?!?”
“…HAD!?”
Every time I see 3+ new inbox notifications I know I said something controversial. 😅
oh yeah. Some days, I pass out in a stupor & have to keep myself from checking notifications for as long as curiosity can stay away from the cat.
It’s nice when you eventually check…and it turns out to be constructive feedback or support. Even with downvotes. There’s an art to this.
I have learned to avoid posting to the dark souls communities when I’m in a mood.
Nooo we want you here… Please post <3
What’s fun is waking up with a comment already to post on something you swear you clicked on in your sleep. My latest:
Work with [redacted] to develop a [redacted] over the6u o{p{by yet cy<furgoneta he utter 6
I think furgoneta might mean summer in sleepytimespeak
Unless you said something VERY “controversial”, and then you see nothing at all… ever again.
I think that Russia invaded Ukraine, not the other way around…
BANNED
Aww lookit you, all grown up now.
A light .ml criticism or light support for a progressive dem can blow up your inbox
How dare you not think that bOtH sIdEs SaMe!? Why, I will have you know that Donald J Trump is likewise a black Indian woman, as explained in these theory books that I now demand that you read before you can show your face in this community again…
I disagree! How dare you!
Hey maw come look zewm did it agin
Listen here you little shit…
What a classic .world take. GO READ A BOOK.
If you get 12 comments under your post on Lemmy, then you probably went on .ml and told them the Soviet Union wasn’t that great.
We’ve all been there
But the huge number of comments is because of just two people arguing for hours.
No it isn’t.
Source?
Your mom
Got 'em
it surely is!
Then one of the commenters gets reported, and now half the comments are “Removed by Mod”
Or it could be constructive dialogue
poop fart
You take that back!
Make me!
Paint my fence!
…about whether the first comment in the thread is AI or not.
How many times do 11 people tell you they liked something you did IRL? 12 upvotes is still a lot.
I’m so glad to not be on other social media anymore. Posting on Facebook and having no engagement from the people you actually know and care about hurt a lot more than having a comment on Lemmy get ignored.
I have a dear friend who got pranked by someone. They set his Facebook posting options to post only at me and he didn’t notice for a couple years. He just wondered why no one else commented on his posts.
We’ve both got slightly oversized egos relative to our accomplishments, so that must have been rough.
Whoa, that’s so mean. I’m glad it was finally realized, did he ever discover who did that? I hope he’s doing okay now.
He never said who did it, but he lived in a hostel that year so I think his suspect list is long
I wish it would be as socially easy to vocally approve or encourage someone as it is to put a like.
I strongly believe people would be surprised.
Be the change you want to see in the world!
Already am!
Handing out compliments to strangers once in a while, and supporting good points
The best advice I ever got was this: if a compliment about someone pops into your head, you should tell them.
Like I have to add the caveat don’t be a creepy fuck (unless you know them and they like that) because there’s 8 billions of us and that means there are folk who are super creepy just by law of large populations. I’m talking about real compliments, not preludes to flirts or slaps.
Absolutely! I usually pick more neutral compliments and make sure I give them to both men and women alike.
Regularly but I’m a musician. I may not have heard it said explicitly, but they usually walk out humming whatever I played and that counts double.
Me when i get less than 40 votes but somehow more than 70 comments 😨
The horror when a post is not just a circlejerk but people are having conversations.
yeh but my first instinct is “oh god 70 people left a comment but 40 upvoted they really must have hated it” lol
I’m so glad the comments didn’t go the way I thought they would. Good job everyone!
Posts? It’s a staggering amount!
Am I the only one who read lemmy speak in a sqeaky voice in my head?
The voices in my head are entirely based on the PFP that displays next to a post/comment. If your avatar is Spongebob, everything I read from you will be in Spongebob’s voice.
Awww yisssss
We’re halfway there
Comments for the comment god!
Livin’ on a prayer?
WHHHOOOOOAAAooOOOO!
woah oh livin on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it, I swear
Ticks embedded in your taint? Well above average
How would you kn… uh I mean okay.
