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
I also smirked, thanks for smirking me
Thank you, Comrade Shartfucker
sometimes you post just for that one other random guy you see posting memes constantly
You make the world a happier place, sharkfucker420.
❤️
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
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.
Maybe work for on your fart joke for a year?
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.
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.
❤️
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 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!
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
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.
im not a number, you dumb meanie
Shudupshudupshudup
megopie will remember this
Thanks u/megopie
Goes the other way too. Imagine 100 people yelling at you and calling you a dumbass.
Depends on the people really. The right kind of people hating you is a good feeling.
Would be cool if we kept this post to 15 likes but the internet doesn’t have that sort of coordination.
Edit: This comment at 15 is good enough lol
Especially not the Fediverse with everyone having a slightly different vote count due to defederation and some instances having downvotes disabled
I started trying piefed because fedio.io hasn’t been working properly for days, and it doesn’t even let you see the number of up and down votes–just the total after they’re added together. I don’t care for it.
Doesn’t that depend on the “reader”? I mean if there are several already.
Nobody upvote this comment.
dont tell me what to do 😡
imagine those 300 people in front of you staring at you.
Please no. My anxiety could not handle that
(͡•_ ͡• )
I think directly in front of me in person I’ve maybe done 150.
Always hate those because the smaller ones you can have a conversation, but when it’s over 50 or so, either no one wants to speak up and comment or question, or like one guy wants to and just generally derails things.
Because of that last one, event organizers frequently tell the speakers to not take questions and comments live even if they wanted to try… Which results in blathering on pointlessly live to an audience that sits in silence except for generic audience responses like a little applause or laughter or whatever. When I give such a speech I’m just thinking the whole time “this could have just been a video, where they could seek and watch me at 1.5x or whatever they want to do”
O _ O
Everyone stare and judge this guy.
When can we lick him?
7 is the magic number for me. 1-5 feels like its bots, 6 is close, 7 is ‘yeah, I feel validated’.
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
deleted by creator
Ah, more than 7 upvotes, dietyhood confirmed.
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
Yeah, but what about downvotes?
That’s like 15 people walking up to you to say “I liked that, thank you”, but then one person comes up to you, calls you a cunt and punches you in the face.
Man, you take down votes really harshly.
Not really, I would say I take them as intended.
I wouldn’t downvote something unless it was hateful, bigoted, offensive, bullying or so horribly wrong as to be offensive. [Edit] or spam.
Yeah you might want to re-calibrate there, because you’re treating one side of the equation a lot more extremely than the other. If upvote = “I liked that, thank you”, then downvote should = “I disliked that, no thanks”.
They are naturally imbalanced though (and they’re slightly different for posts and comments) - in some sense they are for increasing and decreasing visibility, promoting and demoting i.e.
upvote being “I liked this so much I think more people should see it”
no-vote “I don’t care about this, or dislike it - I don’t think it should he seem by more people”
downvote then being “I hate this so much I wish to actively stop other people seeing it”.
Perhaps an easier way of looking at it, is you go to see a gig, and the band finishes a song - if you like it, you applaud loudly. If you don’t like it, you stay silent, or give a half-arsed polite applause. If you hate it, or find it offensive, you actively attempt to “booooooooo” them off the stage.
It may of course just be cultural differences about positivity and negativity.
In the other hand, it may of course just be me, being weird :)
It’s a simple, I don’t agree with your opinion thing. That’s it.
I’d still upvote something if it contributed to the conversation/discussion/argument, even if i personally didn’t agree with what the person is saying.
If it didn’t really contribute anything, I’d leave it blank.
It’s not supposesd to be agree/disagree, but thanks to a certain techbro who may or not be a robot, it is.
It was supposed to be “this does/not contribute something relevant to the conversation, and I may or not agree.”
Any tech bro had nothing to do with this. It is what the community has decided as a whole that an upvote or a down vote means in the context of a conversation on the internet.v I was on Reddit for about 17 years pretty much since the beginning. And before that I was on dig and it’s always how it’s been used when it comes to the context of conversations.
Same. If I’m not into something, I just scroll past it. I usually downvote if I disagree or hate it.
Not really, I would say I take them as intended.
In that case, you either take up votes as “I liked that, thank you” and downvotes as “I didn’t like that”; or you take upvotes as “people come up to you to give you oral pleasure”, in which case you can take downvotes as “calls you a cunt and punches you in the face”.
I think that’s a weirder scale than the one I’m using.
Yeah righto, cunt 👊💥
FACE! 💥
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 :(
i just imagined it, and it felt pretty nice actually, thanks for that
