I end up not commenting because I try to proofread and while doing it I notice I don't care enough about whatever or my comment doesn't really matter and just cancel de comment.

I do that a lot when Im about to make a dumb joke reply. Halfway through correcting all the mistakes I thankfully realized it's just not worth it.

Kinda feel bad for people when a joke I've made makes it to being posted.

Definitely.

On reddit I have observed my faith in the intentions of the person on the receiving end waning over the last years bc of that.

I have been surprised at the good faith people reacted to my comments with, I haven't yet gotten to the reddit poison fully out of my system.

It's kinda like when you filter reviews and everything is either 5 stars or 1 stars. Most people will only comment if they feel strongly about something and unfortunately we live in an outrage culture, so the majority of interactions will be negative. Very rarely will someone put the effort to reply to something they feel ambivalent towards

I've noticed that. Everything's become so black-and-white and lacking in nuance that people feel like they absolutely must fit into one box or the other. ugh

we're in a golden age before corporations, bots, and racist dumbasses come, we're not popular enough to attract people so the only ones here are foss enthusiasts and i know this is elitist but theres definitely a correlation between that and not being a weirdo jackass. once this gets more popular get ready for the shit hurdling and over moderation again. sorry to burst your bubble. i love this community
