If even 1 person smirks because of somethijg 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
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.
lol, upvoted bc fart.
Maybe work for on your fart joke for a year?
Okay so what did you work on?
This account is for shitposting, thus , I'd rather not share.
Would be cool if we kept this post to 15 likes but the internet doesn't have that sort of coordination.
Especially not the Fediverse with everyone having a slightly different vote count due to defederation and some instances having downvotes disabled
Nobody upvote this comment.
dont tell me what to do 😡
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 those 300 people in front of you staring at you.
Please no. My anxiety could not handle that
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!!
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.
❤️
Goes the other way too. Imagine 100 people yelling at you and calling you a dumbass.
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.
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.
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
That’s the danger of social media imo. Constant ambient parasocial relationships online leading to reduced interaction with the real world due to mental reconditioning.
Even if one person likes your post, that's still a whole ass human that might think what you think or feel what you feel. Maybe you write something that matters to you and maybe you manage to change one person's mind. That one person will influence others too. Maybe you make a clever joke and make someone's day. That's an amazing feeling to be on either side of.
I suspect many people on Lemmy realize this and don't really care about big dopamine numbers. Basically what I'm trying to say is... year of Linux btw.
Funny enough dislikes are exactly this way. -5 feels like 5 people just called me a bitch.
Nope, those are 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.
i just imagined it, and it felt pretty nice actually, thanks for that
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.
I do too. 700 people might not seem like a lot, but 900 people actually is
