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

[-] xor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 months ago

Find hot Nicoles in your local Fediverse!

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.

[-] raptore39@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

I might not always be right, but I'm never wrong

[-] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

If I'm ever wrong. I delete that comment and pretend it didn't happen. Or if someone actually makes a good counter argument I just go "meh, don't feel like replying" and leave them unread. I do the worst crime. I'll be 10 replies in and I won't even downvote their last comment to let them know I read it. I'm sure it's infuriating.

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

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.

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

[-] sxan@midwest.social 8 points 3 months ago

You're asking the wrong person. Due either to my client, or my instance, I get, like, a 20% success rate on attaching images. Most of the time I get an error.

On my client, there's a little picture icon. When I click that, it lets me select a picture and, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the stars align, the picture is embedded. Otherwise, I upload to catbox.moe and manually embed the URL. The markdown syntax for an embedded image is:

![](https://url.ofyour.pic/thing.jpg)
[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

On desktop, you can just paste it.

You can do markdown, so ![](https://link.to/image)

This is my primary use of reddit.

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

[-] hmonkey@lemy.lol 13 points 3 months ago

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

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

My only regrets are having to read stupid responses that completely missed the point of what I said because they want to argue with what they think I said.

Occasionally I learn something new from responses, which changes my perspective.

Downvotes sometimes make me want to clarify what I wrote on the assumption that it got misinterpreted.

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

[-] socsa@piefed.social 11 points 3 months ago

Usually means you got featured on hexbear

Half the time you just have to say "Fuck Tankies" or "Vote DNC" and you'll get 4, 10, or even 20 of the most cookie cutter responses you've ever seen in your life.

I'm too scared to check tbh. Somebody tell me if I am getting downvoted because I see 150 unreads

Me is, how stoned was I.

[-] crabigno@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 months ago

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?

[-] sxan@midwest.social 8 points 3 months ago

Bots. You never knew if you were talking to a bot.

Plus, way more assholes. Like way more.

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 7 points 3 months ago

I'm pretty excited to see and check what gained traction

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

Often followed by, "I said that?"

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

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.

Showerthoughts

35750 readers
488 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
