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.
I might not always be right, but I’m never wrong
I assume the right-wing propaganda planners have decided they need to counter something I said
My first thought is always “Must be Nicole the Fediverse chick again” 😂
I just got her message this morning! 😂
I’m too scared to check tbh. Somebody tell me if I am getting downvoted because I see 150 unreads
you kicked the .ml hornet nest, didn’t you?
here’s some ointment, now take your medicine and join the rest of the lemmies

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BENT OVER BY BIGFOOT WHEN EXPLORING THE WOOD AND MISTAKEN FOR A MATE. THEN LEFT THERE LAYING OUT LIKE A WET SPAGHETTI NOODLE! THIS IS HOW IT FEELS DRIVING A FORD F150!
should’ve went with the F250…
next time brah
Hahahahaaa I didn’t know which to use but totally
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.
Me is, how stoned was I.
At least unlike reddit people aren’t directly insulting you.
We have very different lemmy experiences
Bet
Normally people just hardcore virtue signaling.
Usually means you got featured on hexbear
what’s hexbear
Since there’s no serious answer: hexbear is a highly toxic instance that has been defederated by most other instances. However, their users will keep tabs on what’s said on other instances, and they’ll occasionally show up en masse with alt accounts to attack something that particularly enraged them.
Many of them are…not quite mentally stable.
They’re probably the single largest base of tankie support. For them, America = bad, and anyone opposed to America = good. They pretend to care about communism etc but they’re really just anti-American. Saying anything negative about China gets you instantly banned.
If you don’t know, count yourself hella lucky and move on with your day.
What does your uid signify?
It’s the sexy new British emergency number lol
When you had hex with a bear last night but can’t remember.
A fictional entity used by right wingers on Lemmy to victimize themselves.
Are you literally claiming hexbear doesn’t exist?
That’s a new one
Immediately go to my comments to see whats getting downvoted to hell.
I just assume I said something factually wrong and now dozens of helpful people are lining up to correct me.
Ah, I see you’ve developed a humiliation fetish as well
Uhm, acshually… ☝️
And then all of them are “Nicole”.
The Polish Partier.
i have a different pic in my inbox. do i suppose to collect them all? i want a rare Nicole now
What’s the att/def on your Nicole? I’ll trade you mine - just pulled a disappearing Nicole. No idea what the att is, but given that it disappeared from my deck, I must imagine the def is wicked high
I have them both, so… Yes?
I have none :(
Both? I have three. Are there more?
Oh shit there are three!
Oh she’s using a new picture now?
I’ll probably get it in my inbox sooner or later
Aww, I don’t feel special anymore.
I got a message from nicole with a pic. I thought it was a scammer or something. Just a one off thing. Is that not the case? Is Nicole a lemmy thing?
Nope, your first instinct is right, it’s a spammer. But it’s one of the few specific spammers that almost everyone has run into on lemmy, so it’s just a joke. Like saying you met a Nigerian prince who offered you a huge sum of money.
I have yet to be messaged by this person. Dunno what anybody is talking about. In fact, I’ve never actually been messaged by anybody on lemmy.
My first Nicole message was today. You’ll join the club eventually.
I just got mine today, like some tribal initiation
Still haven’t gotten one. Guess the bots don’t like me.
I guess I’m not special enough, Nicole doesn’t want to talk to me.
update private_message set deleted = true from person where person.id = private_message.creator_id and person.actor_id in ('https://lemmy.cafe/u/nicole');🚮
Gods please don’t let this be a trend…
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
I don’t want to deal with arguing especially since half the responses clearly only read the first sentence of my comment. I don’t have the energy for it. So I’m on an instance with downvotes disabled and rarely check my inbox.
If people like my contribution they can upvote, if they don’t like it they can downvote or argue back, but I don’t have the energy to give to that, so I probably won’t see it.
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.
I agree - A lot of people seem so prepared for someone to disagree with them that they seem to misfire on people they agree with. I try to avoid this by starting my comments with “I agree” 😊 … though even then some people still get confused 🫠
What are you talking about? You’re way off base, and completely unreasonable. It’s so typical of you people that I have a generalized baseless belief of. What about this other person that has nothing to do with this? Do you agree with them, too? I bet you also hate soldiers defending our country, and probably kittens too.
the best is when the response is about the first or last sentence of what I wrote and their response is addressed in the rest of it.
Downvotes sometimes make me want to clarify what I wrote on the assumption that it got misinterpreted.
Has that ever worked for you?
I do it a lot and can’t think of a single time it worked.
Occasionally. Other times it makes people angrier
Looking through some of my controversial comments, it seems like it worked maybe 1/3 - 1/2 of the time?
I’ve seen a number of comments with a visible edit that have an even split between down and up votes. I can only assume the edit worked. Not like votes mean anything on Lemmy. It’s kinda nice not having the overall “karma” visible at all times.
My thought was more “which of the things I wrote triggered such a reaction?” I’m often surprised.
I mean well, and I want to have hope for the future, but I’m depressed and have untreated ADHD and a desperate need for therapy, and I do worry that I’m letting all that influence how I talk to strangers online.
I’m probably too harsh sometimes, or not harsh enough, or dumb, or stupid, etc, more often than I’d like.
So yeah, I generally regret or worry over everything I say to everyone at some point or another. I suck xD But I’m too lonely to switch off and not talk to anyone entirely, so here we are.
My own experience with this was posting a shower thoughts thread while quite inebriated, forgetting I’d done it then waking up with a fairly full inbox so nothing controversial or argumentative.
My experience is that I reply to a lot of things, and post very few, and in no case do I have even a vague notion about how many comments what I write will generate. I can guess the vector magnitude of up/down votes, but never the amount of interaction, where people take time to reply.
Absolutely, it is only human to make mistakes. Of course there are time where someone gives a stupid reply but there are also times where that is not the case. If it were the assumption would be that I am right about everything, which is asinine
I I do actually second thought what I said. As I can be as wrong as any. And if I’m wrong I’m ought to change my mind.
