The most consequential thing I will every do in my life is take a picture of the location of a rental car pickup desk at this airport I went to when I was in my 20s. It's the top picture for the location and it has 9 million views. If I ever topped that at this point... I feel like it wouldn't be a good time.
I started trying piefed because fedio.io hasn't been working properly for days, and it doesn't even let you see the number of up and down votes--just the total after they're added together. I don't care for it.
I think directly in front of me in person I've maybe done 150.
Always hate those because the smaller ones you can have a conversation, but when it's over 50 or so, either no one wants to speak up and comment or question, or like one guy wants to and just generally derails things.
Because of that last one, event organizers frequently tell the speakers to not take questions and comments live even if they wanted to try... Which results in blathering on pointlessly live to an audience that sits in silence except for generic audience responses like a little applause or laughter or whatever. When I give such a speech I'm just thinking the whole time "this could have just been a video, where they could seek and watch me at 1.5x or whatever they want to do"
I write fiction and post it online. I'm thrilled when one person reads it and comments. It doesn't even need to be a positive comment, I'm just happy someone read it.
The moar you poast n comment strange thing, positively, more people click profile to see if you really have sister feet in jar on desk, and I do! Can I read your work? I are skilled righter myself.
No, I am demonstrating what I am teaching. If you want to direct traffic to your work online, be an idiot. A rightly timed typo can net thousands and thousands of views. And my skill as a righter is self-evident to investigators, though not observers, as is the razzle dazzle behind my educational propaganda.
A skit of three lines about my pedagogy:
Man 1 (in Roman marketplace): I am the son of God!
Man 2: That's blasphemous!
Man 1: But brother, surely you know our Father?
There's a function to illumination of concept in playing the fool. To the initiated and curious, of course.
That's the kind of coping mechanism I'd expect from assholes. Never reflect on the opinions of others, right? As for your philosophy - it's the epitomy of "engament is king" type of malice. Being a piece of shit surely creates more engagement, but as mentioned, you can kindly go fuck off somewhere else with that.
No I am. I'm highly mindful, if capricious at times being schizoaffective n autistic with PTSD n ADHD n pOCD but I'm not a victim! Because despite once wanting to punch God in the balls, having vengeance and anger and hate in my heart over how badly I was fucked in life, and now I don't. Nothing you say will ever bother me. I want you to know this peace for I know your anger, and it does not serve you.
My life partner intentionally drives me insane. I'm 💯% getting arrested because of him. I have lost my shit numerous times before, assaulting him, but I'm reaching a point where I don't get angry anymore because I CHOSE over and over to resist anger, strengthening my prefrontal cortex will each time I set my intention not to give in to anger.
"Engagement is king" is not my philosophy. I'm capable of trolling put the ass and getting over 150k views on my content per day just from that. No, that's not reasonable to work woth because then you get 200 notifications an hour amd you can't work with the people who find themselves in your orbit for more than a reply or two before they bugger off while your inbox is flooded.
No, I much prefer to be a red dwarf than a supernova so I can help those who need help the most. Does that seem like something a piece of shit does? Y'know the archetype Jesus is based off of is Diogenes? "Flipping tables and cracking whips" means he caused a disturbance and was very snappy with his wit. It is us with these sharp minds and silver tongues that can get you (and more) to listen.
Because I can sit here with the kindest words I can now, and it not me who is hostile. I have no negativity in me for you AT ALL. Yet, you're reading these words, holding on to a hot coal, and you're the one getting burning, yea?
Not my fault. I love you, the best anyone could how you're treating others. I know. I know that you warped your world to make everything abput you, because that's what people do who have not strengthened their prefrontal cortex by consciously letting go of anger and other animalistic impulses. The concept of "Let there be light..." implies that sound came before light, so your higher mind has to figure out what the Server is sending you, symbology-wise, so you can predict it and outplay it by sending a reply before you receive the input.
This is what enlightenment is, as the Buddha described it; disentanglement from what keeps one bound to physicality in cycles of karmic rebirth. Be better, for your sake. I didn't suffer righting this so these words would appear within you, in your simulation that you are not IN but rather ARE. There is no spoon, and you're losing your biscuits over some glyphs on the internet. I bet you're one of those people who will be drafted and be so out of control of themselves they'll obey orders to kill other human beings instead of resisting violence to practice radical pacifism.
Because this is propaganda I'm writing, not just for you, you realize, yea? Or are you just talking to me in this public forum?
I agree completely. I am in the process of building an app for Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon and Tumblr. Getting a single like or comment on the development process keeps me going!!
I are interpreted this as a sideline Illuminati alien berry prompting me to like ad comment more, as coralates with earlier synchronicity. I learned, tho, not to care about what other think, witch is why I have so many typos n brain problem because it creates intrigue and create traffic to my educational propaganda. Not for every one, but the general idea of spectaling yourselve to get leg up in attention economy can grant greater opportunity and result then trying to be people pleasinger. Hope your project do good!
Society shapered like pyramid. Bottom are laborer artisan who work with studf. Middle are merchant officer who work with people. Top is clergy political who work with narrative.
Clear path up, and the means to do are step outside comfort zone. Do a cringe intentionally because you think it funny or whatever. Step off beaten path. If left, go right; if right, go left.
Learn relativity of operation system; your culture. Stop being machine. Rise into power out of ruse and peer pressure. Be authentic. Be yourself, but wisely, knowing all choices are recorded for eternity. And if not know, that is most ethical, thinking longest terms possible in the society you live and part of.
Yes, but consider, if I thought about it that way, I’d also have to accept that people might recognize my username between posts/comments and form an opinion of me. And that opinion might be that I’m dumb and mean, and that is the most horrifying eternal torture I can conceive of. Ergo, I’m going to pretend that those are just number that appear and that people have as much name blindness as I do.
I get a minimum of like 8 upvotes on every post I make in my group here on Lemmy and I'm convinced they're all bots or all the accounts of one person. They all upvote in sync
That’s the danger of social media imo. Constant ambient parasocial relationships online leading to reduced interaction with the real world due to mental reconditioning.
That's like 15 people walking up to you to say "I liked that, thank you", but then one person comes up to you, calls you a cunt and punches you in the face.
Yeah you might want to re-calibrate there, because you're treating one side of the equation a lot more extremely than the other. If upvote = "I liked that, thank you", then downvote should = "I disliked that, no thanks".
They are naturally imbalanced though (and they're slightly different for posts and comments) - in some sense they are for increasing and decreasing visibility, promoting and demoting i.e.
upvote being "I liked this so much I think more people should see it"
no-vote "I don't care about this, or dislike it - I don't think it should he seem by more people"
downvote then being "I hate this so much I wish to actively stop other people seeing it".
Perhaps an easier way of looking at it, is you go to see a gig, and the band finishes a song - if you like it, you applaud loudly. If you don't like it, you stay silent, or give a half-arsed polite applause. If you hate it, or find it offensive, you actively attempt to "booooooooo" them off the stage.
It may of course just be cultural differences about positivity and negativity.
In the other hand, it may of course just be me, being weird :)
Any tech bro had nothing to do with this. It is what the community has decided as a whole that an upvote or a down vote means in the context of a conversation on the internet.v I was on Reddit for about 17 years pretty much since the beginning. And before that I was on dig and it's always how it's been used when it comes to the context of conversations.
I'd still upvote something if it contributed to the conversation/discussion/argument, even if i personally didn't agree with what the person is saying.
If it didn't really contribute anything, I'd leave it blank.
In that case, you either take up votes as “I liked that, thank you” and downvotes as “I didn't like that”; or you take upvotes as "people come up to you to give you oral pleasure", in which case you can take downvotes as "calls you a cunt and punches you in the face".
I'm always happy if I post something here and just get a few replies, but I'm not sure if that would change if it were Facebook. But I don't really use Facebook.
Imagine, 20 people standing in front of you saying "Good job", but there are 25 more who have to tell you that they don't like what you are doing instead of minding their own business... That's the average social media with down votes enabled.
they still give at least a wibe of what others opinion is about something. A lot of upvotes or downvotes tells of strong opinions, lack of negative votes tells of lack of negative opinions, a lot of both tells that thing being voted might be controversial.
personally i appreciate honest downvotes a lot, since they let me know i might be wrong about something or at least might need to reconsider.
Imagine what Heaven will be like, with telepathy, in two three years, when we cross sixth to seventh day and joing alactic federation that ARE body of God!
Restaurant at universe end = transcendental object at end of time that IS Alpha in start of Itself.
15 likes is a lot for lemmy. 15 followers on the game btd6 is ridiculous.
15 likes on a popular social media isnt that much since so many more people are going to see the post that are way more likely to give a like compared to giving a complement irl
If you posted a video where 300 people have access, then you invited them. If you have an event where you want people to look at you in a similar way, then you invited them.
I’m imagine a situation where three hundred people are just showing up in person where I am doing something. I’m not talking g about sharing some record of what I did online. That is how I interpreted that.
If even 1 person smirks because of something I posted then I am happy
i smirked because of you, are happy now? happy of what you've accomplished? someone's life was affected by you and you're happy
:) yeah
I also smirked, thanks for smirking me
Thank you, Comrade Shartfucker
sometimes you post just for that one other random guy you see posting memes constantly
You make the world a happier place, sharkfucker420.
❤️
yeah but me getting 30 upvotes for my thing I worked for a year on is disappointing when the fart joke I made got 3000
Well farting is very universal, but ornate dora minifigure panoramas are somewhat niche
Especially ones made of rat skeletons
The most consequential thing I will every do in my life is take a picture of the location of a rental car pickup desk at this airport I went to when I was in my 20s. It's the top picture for the location and it has 9 million views. If I ever topped that at this point... I feel like it wouldn't be a good time.
Maybe work for on your fart joke for a year?
lol, upvoted bc fart.
Reminds me of the classic Man Carrying Thing video…
He do be farting and dying
Okay so what did you work on?
This account is for shitposting, thus , I'd rather not share.
Would be cool if we kept this post to 15 likes but the internet doesn't have that sort of coordination.
Edit: This comment at 15 is good enough lol
Especially not the Fediverse with everyone having a slightly different vote count due to defederation and some instances having downvotes disabled
I started trying piefed because fedio.io hasn't been working properly for days, and it doesn't even let you see the number of up and down votes--just the total after they're added together. I don't care for it.
Doesn't that depend on the "reader"? I mean if there are several already.
Nobody upvote this comment.
dont tell me what to do 😡
I got fifteen real, unprompted compliments (about my bike, it is pretty cool) last week. It was surprising.
Bike pic pls. I would like to compliment your cool bike
yo, nice bike!
Please no. My anxiety could not handle that
(͡•_ ͡• )
I think directly in front of me in person I've maybe done 150.

pretty much like a stranger giving you a thumbs up after you did something weird
I agree completely. I am in the process of building an app for Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon and Tumblr. Getting a single like or comment on the development process keeps me going!!
What technology are you using to build your app? Out of curiosity
I am using Swift/SwiftUI for the iOS and Apple Watch app. :)

Hah ha.. Thank you.
Goes the other way too. Imagine 100 people yelling at you and calling you a dumbass.
Depends on the people really. The right kind of people hating you is a good feeling.
This is the internet. If people. All you a dumbass it will be way more than 100.
Dumbass.
(J/k, its a joke, you are wonderful, maybe, I don't really know enough to judge.)
Free will is a skill.

Shudupshudupshudup
megopie will remember this
Thanks u/megopie
7 is the magic number for me. 1-5 feels like its bots, 6 is close, 7 is 'yeah, I feel validated'.
I get a minimum of like 8 upvotes on every post I make in my group here on Lemmy and I'm convinced they're all bots or all the accounts of one person. They all upvote in sync
Ah, more than 7 upvotes, dietyhood confirmed.
I'm a simple man, I just need one like and that makes me happy.
You are at 2 which means 1 like, I don't want to ruin that for you.
its starting to get a bit overwhelming now.
That’s the danger of social media imo. Constant ambient parasocial relationships online leading to reduced interaction with the real world due to mental reconditioning.
Yeah, but what about downvotes?
That's like 15 people walking up to you to say "I liked that, thank you", but then one person comes up to you, calls you a cunt and punches you in the face.
Man, you take down votes really harshly.
Not really, I would say I take them as intended.
I wouldn't downvote something unless it was hateful, bigoted, offensive, bullying or so horribly wrong as to be offensive. [Edit] or spam.
Yeah you might want to re-calibrate there, because you're treating one side of the equation a lot more extremely than the other. If upvote = "I liked that, thank you", then downvote should = "I disliked that, no thanks".

It's a simple, I don't agree with your opinion thing. That's it.
It's not supposesd to be agree/disagree, but thanks to a certain techbro who may or not be a robot, it is.
It was supposed to be "this does/not contribute something relevant to the conversation, and I may or not agree."
Any tech bro had nothing to do with this. It is what the community has decided as a whole that an upvote or a down vote means in the context of a conversation on the internet.v I was on Reddit for about 17 years pretty much since the beginning.

I think that's a weirder scale than the one I'm using.
Same. If I'm not into something, I just scroll past it. I usually downvote if I disagree or hate it.
Yeah righto, cunt 👊💥
FACE! 💥
Funny enough dislikes are exactly this way. -5 feels like 5 people just called me dumb.
Nope, those are bots. :)
I look at the negative votes on my comments and feel sorry for those people
I do too. 700 people might not seem like a lot, but 900 people actually is
I fixed it, so people won't know how funny that is, lol. No /s
i just imagined it, and it felt pretty nice actually, thanks for that
No kidding. Long ago during my Imgur days, I got 700+. I figure that was my 15 minutes of fame or something.
I'm always happy if I post something here and just get a few replies, but I'm not sure if that would change if it were Facebook. But I don't really use Facebook.
Facebook is super toxic though. It's crazy :(
I'd rather have 20 Lemmy upvotes than 10000 reddit upvotes.
Imagine, 20 people standing in front of you saying "Good job", but there are 25 more who have to tell you that they don't like what you are doing instead of minding their own business... That's the average social media with down votes enabled.
upvotes dont mean anything without downvotes
Neither mean anything, both are completely useless fictional numbers.
they still give at least a wibe of what others opinion is about something. A lot of upvotes or downvotes tells of strong opinions, lack of negative votes tells of lack of negative opinions, a lot of both tells that thing being voted might be controversial.
personally i appreciate honest downvotes a lot, since they let me know i might be wrong about something or at least might need to reconsider.
Fair point, i can see how those can be used to gauge general opinion of people.
Downvotes are a toxic feature when used on other opinions. Brings negativity no one needs.
Hey, thanks for posting this.
Yeah but look where he lives. There's hardly anyone there. He'd be lucky to get 1 like IRL.
That would mean I had to interact with 15 people.
The agony!

Didn't thought I would see Abhijeet from CID on Lemmy.

I wuld love 300 people washing me while I see how many bowling balls I can fit in my dilapidated boipussy. My record is four and a have!
15/8,000,000,000 isn't that bad.
One woman loving me out of four-ish billions feels pretty damn nice, honestly.
