Same because of this sort of thing happening. Or back in the day, the page sometimes crashing. But at this point if it's a long effortpost of a response I'll draft it up in a text editor first.

i think i must have the habit from back when i had shitty internet a decade ago and never got rid of it

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

it's okay, I'll just pretend you made a really GOOD post

I just post something stupid and then edit it until I'm not embarrassed

e: with this one I just fixed a typo

[-] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

I tend to type out posts then just delete them anyway so

[-] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

I always highlight long comments and copy them, so if i accidentally delete it or hit cancel then I can paste from clipboard

That shit's the worst. Would be nice if there were a confirmation dialog or something

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah. The UI already does that if you try to close a tab with a draft comment.

[-] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Website should just post when you hit cancel or navigate away from the page.

[-] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

whenever i navigate away from the page while writing a comment its bc i suddenly got anxious that my post was bad so i agree

[-] Esoteir@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

there's nothing worse than writing a good comment, then tabbing away bc of self doubt, and then coming back to the tab like four hours later when the post is already on page 3 and everyone's moved on
