Often. Even more often I realize there is no point since the recipient is either a troll or incapable of rational thought.

all. the. time.
More like “Oh god, what if they reply? I don’t have the time for this.”
98% of everything I write gets deleted almost immediately. More if we count typos.
Curious about the math you use to calculate that percentage. Show your work!
Hah! I would have estimated more like one percent but I do still type with a real keyboard occasionally, where I am markedly faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, I still delete most emails, notes, comments, etc without saving them.
I type like 1000 words, then I realized I'm gonna look so stupid if nobody reads it and it remains at 1 vote, so I just delete it before I embarass myself.
(I don't care about upvotes, I just want to get the acknowledgement that someone read it so I know my time wasn't wasted.)
Edit: I wish there was a "read" button. It's for the times when you acknowledge reading it but you don't like it enough to upvote it.
Can someone add this to Lemmy? 👀
That would have to be an automatic action, cause I ain't hitting a button when reading comments. I don't even upvote/downvote enough
If you believe your point is worth making, then your time isn’t wasted. There are more lurkers than commenters, and your words might have an impact of them without you realizing it.
Say it because you believe in it, and not because you want validation.
I envy you, I wish for ability to write thousands of words with ease.
I've got ya, my dude.
What you’re going to the feature?
I do this on comments. But not this comment.
i also didn't do this on this comment.
Yes, all the fucking time.
Some things aren’t worth engaging with, like when you know the other person can’t or doesn’t want to be reasoned with, or just wants to get a rise out of you.
Had the uno reverse of this the other day. I don’t want to respond to this to justify myself, but damned if I’m gonna let this mf have the last word.
Lol. Hard to fight that one.
"Wait a minute this dude comments on pics drinking subs I dont owe this mf shit about taste wtf"
lol how old is that image
… … …
Fuck it.
