*Crickets*

Yeah and you know what? Fuck that, I work hard on my stupid little comments, even check spelling and shit, so when I come back and what I see? 6 upvotes? That's like twice as much than when I was still on reddit! Normally I would get one, from myself. So thank you very much, I appreciate it!

I can tell you ate very good at comenting
- I kin tall yew are vary good at commiting

Go into any programming community and post that you prefer Windows to Linux.

Go to any hexbear instance and say just about anything that might have nuance or critical thought.
- Which ones have they been? The Chinese nationalist larping as communists or the teenage edgelords cosplaying as centrist Twitter samurai?
I mean, I do. I miss Windows 7....
- 98 was my favorite or more specifically 98+MSDos
Thanks, but I prefer not to receive death threats.

If you're feeling lonely, just say some controversial shit and nerds will swarm to argue with you

- Here's my opinion on why your wrong. Windows is full of trackers that gather your telemetry (anonymously but if you piss off bill gates he will send you a screenshot of all the porn you watched) which tells Microsoft things like when you take a shit and how many minorities you dislike. Next is performance because Windows runs like hot garbage on low tier computers. Your $400 HP laptop comes with Windows? Well enjoy 20 minutes of loading when you boot that bad boy up and even Microsoft Office will struggle. Settings in Windows are all fucked up because Steve Gates can't decide on where shit goes so now you have TWO that's right TWO settings menus, one that's your classic control panel and the other that's old people proof even though old people can't work out how to open the start menu let alone change a setting. Finally there's the ads which are annoying as shit. You start up your shitbox of a PC which takes twenty minutes and your greeted with "oh you should buy gamepass lmao. That's why I use Linux. Linux is the best operating system. You download it, install it, mess it up somehow and Install it again. Why I love the fact that only some distros gather telemetry (idk which ones lmao) and the fact that there's 20 billion different operating systems to choose from built useing Linux with varying degrees of quality. And no matter what you get you'll still end up using the terminal to fix your shitty drivers. Personally I love Temple OS. Temple OS is written in holy C
The fuck I will!

My problem is that when I log in and have 10+ notifications I think “oh no what did I say” and then never check them.

Haha I always think "oh shit, what did I say this time?"

I always check them though. Most of the time they're good.
Yeah me too. I can always feel my heart beating faster when I see the messages tab not being empty
Sometimes I'm relieved I didn't get replies to the stupid shit I said lol

But it's only been 1 minute since you last checked because you struggle with ADHD and the instant happy chemicals are more important than completing actually important tasks.

- Thank you for replying, brain has been momentarily satisfied.
Here's ur dopamine hit
If those tasks are so important, then how come they don't trigger the happy brain juice?
- Because important ≠ fun or interesting. ADHD does not play nice with anything that is boring or unengaging.

I like it that way.

If I log in and see 5+ I immediately think "oh god what could I have said now..."

+1 notification

.

There you go, buddy :)

Nice try Spez.
- Bröther, may I sell your private data while bombing you with ads and forcing my lousy app on you?

When you return to Lemmy and there are no new posts because you left 10 seconds ago.

Throw a post up in asklemmy before you go to sleep and you'll always wake up with a coupla replies.

The children yearn for the mines; the lemmings yearn for the questions.

I'll give you another one

just go to one of the more tense instances and say capitalism good/capitalism bad and you'll have more than enough.

Or if you're feeling really brave write a comment about why veganism is correct literally anywhere.

I'd argue that the problem isn't so much saying that you're a vegan because X, Y, Z, but that very often vegans extend that to moral judgements about people that aren't vegan, without accepting that there are reasons someone may not wish to be a vegan. Y'know, god forbid that you tell a vegan that you hunt your own meat, and only kill/eat invasive species that are disrupting the ecosystem, like feral pigs, or lionfish in the Gulf of Mexico.
- omfg it's already happening.
- I think you might be the only person on Earth doing that.

Just tell everyone you're a socialist. That usually does it for me.

Just write some "unpopular" comment and a lot of people will be there for you.

unpopular
- Never knew it was possible for someone to be this wrong.
What sort of sick fuck says that?
- I sincerely don't understand your comment. I've been insulted for saying that I dislike a particular browser, for instance.
Just make sure it’s not so unpopular that you get banned.
- I'm not talking about CP or racist/sexist shit, obviously.

I'll give you one.

Pick a fight with a right wing boomer. They'll never stop replying lol

From what I've seen you'll spent a while searching for one here

👋

Y’all are getting them notifications??

Here you go.

What if you have dozens?

Stir up the tankies - assuming you don't have hexbear and whatnot blocked, they'll never shut the fuck up.

Also known as literally every time I open Lemmy.

for a couple days i get replies to my comments and then there are a couple weeks where i nobody wants to talk to me and repeat

Balderdash with 8 posts a day and no notifications? Heresy!

Next time don't leave and you won't have to return

My one today - comment that microwaves are useless and terrible for cooking

Fuckin hell the amount of armchair chefs that heat frozen dinners calling me elitist 😂

Fuckin calm down Gordon Ramsay

I find microwave ovens quite perfect for cooking mixed vegetables. What makes them terrible in your opinion?
I'll have you know I sprinkled the first 3 spices I could find on that microwaved dinner, if that's not fine dining I don't know what is. yes the first 2 were salt and pepper, next question
- Was the 3 rd one also salt?
