1/3 people taking the joke seriously and losing their shit because I was "wrong."
1/3 people who are illiterate, didn't get the joke because they couldn't comprehend what they were reading and losing their shit for absolutely insane reasons.
Unless I preface it with "Seriously, tho" I ain't being serious 'bout shit.
Lemmy is for sure more chill. It used to be more chill when I first signed up and even the political communities were quite cordial even when there was a difference in opinions, but some reddit refugees brought their negativity and one-upmanship attitudes with them when they migrated here.
I still have a more positive experience overall here, but every now and then the most innocuous comment can set off a bunch of people's tempers.
Yeah definitely agree, was very nice during the original big exodus. And I do notice a very Reddit style of dialog pretty often, but I also notice people saying "oh actually you're right and I was wrong" here, not infrequently.
But then I also think some key (ongoing) world events have put everyone on edge. For myself I'm much more prone to an uncharitable read these days, due to all the apologia (and outright propaganda) I see for stuff I can't stand.
Wait, are you using thunder? For me it just shows 99+, does it skip straight to 999+ once you get there? I assumed it was showing 99+ cause they didn't wanna fit more than 3 digits on the nav bar icon
Edit: nvm, that looks like a different client- which client are you using?
I’ve been having a hard time reaching you. The bodies are going to work their way out of the soil. With all the rain and the construction, they’re finding their way topside soon. You still live near enough to find your way there without drawing any attention, right? We’ll piecemeal the disposal between the two of us. Don’t disappear again.
I often get an "ugh, not dealing with that rn" reaction. Reddit let you mute notifications for replies on a per-comment basis, which sometimes was really nice. Especially useful when dozens of people decide to reply to one comment of yours with similar comments, or when it's just more useful to open the entire thread in another tab.
I'm very bad at managing my inbox when there are replies I don't feel a need to reply to... And probably there are ones that got lost in the pile who I did wanna chat with 🥲
*More than one message*
Me: What did I do..?
You probably said something in .ml
Did you say something negative about China?!?!?!
I have done, and Russia and various other dictators around the world. Basically, if you give them a reality check on any of their daddies you soon get a busy inbox.
.ml and hexbear love to suck dictator balls, while calling all other boot lickers. However, I’d rather lick a boot than suck balls.
I won't do either, every flavor of authoritarian can eat my shorts.
And then a ban.
"SINOPHOBE"
Hmm I didn't know that by criticizing my (now-former) government, that I'm "hating my own race"
They have no idea what real Sinophobia is like. flashbacks to being in K-12 US schools
Nah, I remember when I'm fucking with them.
Nah, I got banned from there and blocked the instant ages ago.
U mad bro? Great, dont forget to block the instance and me as well.
Oh shit... what did my drunk ass say this time?
1/3 people riffing on the joke.

I started to use tone indicators recently, i think i am going to use them more often on Lemmy
I made a WAR IS PEACE comment as sarcasm, referring to the current US admin's actions, and someone called me a hitler supporter.
Lmfao, dude never even read a cliffnotes of 1984.
(Did I successfully manage to do all three here?😜)
3 replies? Someone's popular.
After posting this meme I had 10. Good times :)
Don't read/clear your replies and you too can achieve this glory:
Antisocial media
Its a comment, not a job.
holy shit
Fantastic
Me seeing this: Social Anxiety intensifies
My reaction to seeing new message notification on Lemmy: "Oh God, who did I piss off and which comment was it?"
The secret is to always piss someone off. No more mystery.
Fuck you!
🤣
It happens a lot less often here than it did on Reddit, but I too get a slight twinge of dread from it.
I pissed off a transphobes yesterday. Still getting plenty of bang for the buck!
Idk what the heck y'all are doing to warrant worrying about your notifications, maybe I'm doing Lemmy wrong or something

Nicole, is that you?
Naw there's a new one now.
I treat my inbox here like my email inbox (I have 548 'unread' notifications).
Pffft, amateur:
(I've set upvotes to blue, just to be clear so you don't think I've downvoted you.)
Wait, are you using thunder? For me it just shows 99+, does it skip straight to 999+ once you get there? I assumed it was showing 99+ cause they didn't wanna fit more than 3 digits on the nav bar icon
Edit: nvm, that looks like a different client- which client are you using?
This is Summit, which also shows 999+ for me despite me not having that many unread notifs.
Well thats not super helpful 😅
No need to brag
It's not a brag, it's a confession.
Ah yes, email, the medium meant to...never be read? You're a monster.
Made you look :)
Hi
I’ve been having a hard time reaching you. The bodies are going to work their way out of the soil. With all the rain and the construction, they’re finding their way topside soon.

Never trust a pig farmer...
Pov: it's a reply yelling at you for something.
Or at least it could be - better about it just in case!
I get excited because lemmy has actually the coolest people on earth.
Also voyager?
Oh fuck. Another angry response to my shitposting. I can’t wait to see who I offended today!
Only to realize it is just some tankie using 3 seperate accounts to underline their utterly deranged and irrational argument against you.
Are the tankies in the room with us right now?
You tell me, person of .ml
Hey

Piefed lets you mute replies, I believe, by pressing the little bell next to your comment.
Neat! I've been meaning to switch.
(1)
Oooh, someone’s disagreeing with me or using some argument fallacy to make themselves more right.
Well, have another!
I too like it because it is really rare here.
Fellow Voyager user I see.
Hope you have a lovely day
Thanks. You too!
I'm very bad at managing my inbox when there are replies I don't feel a need to reply to... And probably there are ones that got lost in the pile who I did wanna chat with 🥲
I'm not so great at inboxing myself.
Those are load bearing tabs and cannot be closed.
The guillotine
Eh. Its a just a reply. Not even worth the time replying to the vast majority of the time.
Sorry to hear that. Everyrime I am here and get something in my inbox it was usually a helpful comment.
So in this case I hope reading this in your inbox gives you a lil smile for today :)
Is it because most of your comments are bundles of joy like this one?
Oh, ok, we get it now.
