I’d rather have 20 Lemmy upvotes than 10000 reddit upvotes.
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.
Thanks u/megopie
im not a number, you dumb meanie
Shudupshudupshudup
megopie will remember this
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. :)
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.
❤️
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
Imagine someone going like “Yeah, cool”, then scrolling past you - but IRL.
Like a fellow metal head giving you a little nod from across the street or something like that? Feels fucking cool honestly.
❤️
pretty much like a stranger giving you a thumbs up after you did something weird
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!
Goes the other way too. Imagine 100 people yelling at you and calling you a dumbass.
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.)
Depends on the people really. The right kind of people hating you is a good feeling.
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
Thank you, Comrade Shartfucker
I also smirked, thanks for smirking me
You make the world a happier place, sharkfucker420.
sometimes you post just for that one other random guy you see posting memes constantly
7 is the magic number for me. 1-5 feels like its bots, 6 is close, 7 is ‘yeah, I feel validated’.
Ah, more than 7 upvotes, dietyhood confirmed.
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
Easy enough to verify: https://lemvotes.org/user/SethTaylor@lemmy.world
That would mean I had to interact with 15 people.
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
Maybe work for on your fart joke for a year?
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.
Reminds me of the classic Man Carrying Thing video…
He do be farting and dying
lol, upvoted bc fart.
Okay so what did you work on?
This account is for shitposting, thus , I’d rather not share.
Less exciting if it’s 15 bots
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 :(
15/8,000,000,000 isn’t that bad.
One woman loving me out of four-ish billions feels pretty damn nice, honestly.
So tender feels nice?
❤️
Clearly, 8,000,000,000 people must disagree with you, as they didnt all agree…
