Probably 95% of the time, honestly.

Almost every time, even when it’s something I’m a SME about. I just don’t want to play the popularity/karma game and deal with nonsense.

All. The. Fucking. Time.

Would have been great if no one replied to this post.

3 out of 4 times?

Find myself reiterating something that was already said. Arguing a point nobody cares about. Entering a discussion that I know will not go my way regardless of what info I provide, because even Lemmy has a Hive Mind sometimes and doesn’t like dissent. Realizing half way through writing it that I don’t really know enough about the subject and should just shut up. Or maybe I just think my comment won’t offer anything that contributes to the discussion.

I often type and then realize I’m not really adding anything to the discussion. Then I just discard it.

I post about 1/20th of the replies i write.

Often but not as often as I used to on Reddit. On Lemmy, I do feel more of a sense that I can contribute to the conversation and hopefully will be met with more respect than the other place.

We’re building the kind of community we want. I want to be interacting with engaged and respectful people, so I’m trying to be the same. Feels like more ownership, Yknow?

A lot. I start typing then stop, physically remove my hands from the keyboard and remind myself that A) arguing on the internet never convinced anyone of anything and B) it will make me feel worse, not better.

You’re lucky I’m even responding to this. That’s how often.

Less here, way more often on Reddit. Here is nicer to have conversations.

The older I get, the fewer fucks I give. I still give fucks, just not as much.

I’ve been on the internet long enough I can have the entire argument with myself at this point. I’ve taken to just posting what I want and forgetting about it. They can’t all be bangers.

I think of this as like reddit ptsd. People on lemmy have generally been unexpectedly level headed when disagreeing on things.

All the time. I just did it right now because I don’t want to fight about what I was going to say. Sigh. Tl;Dr lemmy isn’t that different than reddit… still lots of jerks.

I don’t argue. I just state my case. It’s up to the other guy to get offended and defensive.
