Sometimes it turns into "fuck it, I'll inflict myself on everyone's eyes anyway". (The temptation to delete is strong though)

Do it anyway. Lemmy will sink or swim based on interaction.
We need your comments!
26Reply 13ReplyYeah I end up blathering away more now on Lemmy than I did on Reddit. Like some post over there with 1000 comments: 1, nobody's reading them all and 2, somebody already commented what I was going to say.

11ReplyFuck it. Post it anyways, it is all fake internet points.
9ReplyNo karma in Lemmy. We can't keep track of internet points.
3ReplySo that makes them extra fake.

My first post!
9ReplyHey get out of my head.
8ReplyI feel like I'm going to post more aggressively here than Reddit because 1) this place needs content 2) you can actually be seen, even in popular posts which was not the case in Reddit 3) less echo chamber shit (I think)
8ReplyI end up posting the comment and regretting it 5 minutes later, so I go back to delete it lol
7ReplyThe number of times I write a response and posting it just won't work is also too damn high

Just do it! I have a few doozies in my comment history but I think it was fun experience either way. Worst case you learn what sucks, best case you discover some cool new social interactions.

Same. I feel like it's either useless or oit of subject.
5ReplyIt happens to me too often because I always believe people will shit on what I have to say. Gotta improve my confidence.
5ReplyNot me, writing a response to this... then deleting it because it's not good enough 🙈

Regardless of the perceived merit of your post I think we would all just appreciate a little more participation here.

Hey, atleast I'm still upvote/downvoting
3ReplyThank you for using "number of" instead of incorrectly using amount as is the current trend.
3ReplyI can’t claim too much credit, this meme is from the before times.
3ReplyNon-native here, can you explain why?
2ReplyI wouldn't worry about it much but "amount" should be used with uncountable nouns, "number" with countable nouns

For me it's half the time when a community requires a language and my preferred app doesn't support selecting one yet.
2ReplyThere are worse problems 😂
2ReplyPeople are allowed to joke about minor annoyances, Benda. Lol
1ReplyWho’s stopping that? I laughed in my own comment. I have the opposite problem of posting comments I should probably not bother with. Like this one.
