This is my primary use of reddit.
Late night shitposting, i instantly forget, and seeing lots of interesting comments in the morning.
“Windows is a good OS”
How do I post a photo in comments? New here due to Reddit ban.
If you’re using voyager you can just copy and paste and it will handle it, usually, assuming your instance has image uploads enabled.
I’m on Mlem, seems easier to navigate.
I know mlem just got a new update, so I can’t comment on that BUT I can say that always come back to voyager.
It’s as close to the Apollo Reddit client as there is (as far as I’m aware)
On desktop, you can just paste it.
You can do markdown, so
You’re asking the wrong person. Due either to my client, or my instance, I get, like, a 20% success rate on attaching images. Most of the time I get an error.
On my client, there’s a little picture icon. When I click that, it lets me select a picture and, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the stars align, the picture is embedded. Otherwise, I upload to catbox.moe and manually embed the URL. The markdown syntax for an embedded image is:
i usually just have the picture in my clipboard and then ctrl+v. it should be uploaded and the markdown link added for you
I love your username, my WiFi name is prettyflyforawifi
Appreciate it. I’m on mobile, but I think I figure it out.
Also, what was happening in that other site many of us used to be in so interactions between the same people talking the same points were so rare?
Bots. You never knew if you were talking to a bot.
Plus, way more assholes. Like way more.
I’m pretty excited to see and check what gained traction
Usually its when I either offend the libs on world or the fake leftists on ml/hexbear. Sometimes if I’m particularly skilled I piss off both of them at the exact same time (usually by advocating for true liberation for the working class not under a so called “vanguard” but by and for the workers themselves)
Thing is, it’s easy to offend people. It doesn’t take skill, or effort. And it’s not constructive; nobody in history has ever said, “you know, your comment about Communists all being retarded really changed my mind. I’m going to read Atlas Shrugged and become a capitalist!”
Usually when I say stuff that pisses people off, it’s because (a) a joke fell flat, or was not obviously a joke; (b) I was reacting emotionally and said something I intended to be hurtful; © I express an unpopular opinion. As I get older, the reactions to © more often make me scrutinize my opinion, to make sure I’m not just stupidly parroting something my fascist dad taught me when I was a child.
I used to play devil’s advocate, but it doesn’t feel good. It’s one thing if both parties go into it in good faith, and it’s clear neither is just trying to be a troll, but now? I don’t do it without establishing good faith first, and if I suspect someone’s just trolling… I just block them. Straight up. It’s easy, and I have one fewer irritants in my life.
So, that’s me. Why do _you_do it? Are you intentionally trying to rile people up, and if so, why? Are you angry at them? Or do you say you’re offending people just by expressing sincerely held opinions, and the snowflakes are getting triggered? Is everyone but you a hypocrite?
I mean, I believe everyone is a hypocrite, but there’s a spectrum, right? There’s a level where you are trying not to be a hypocrite, but it’s impossible to exist and not be at some level. Then there’s blatantly lying, saying one thing and doing another. A spectrum, and a lot of it boils down to good faith, and sincerity. Are you angry at faux liberals who you feel should be violently agitating for seizing the means of production, and are calling them out in their bullshit? Or just trying to make them angry so you can hurt them, just a little?
Half the time you just have to say “Fuck Tankies” or “Vote DNC” and you’ll get 4, 10, or even 20 of the most cookie cutter responses you’ve ever seen in your life.
That’s an awfully asymmetric expectation of effort!
Depends on how good the opponent’s automation is.
I know what I said, y’all’s angst feeds me.
This would all be easier if you all just agreed with me, the always correct person.
If I’m ever wrong. I delete that comment and pretend it didn’t happen. Or if someone actually makes a good counter argument I just go “meh, don’t feel like replying” and leave them unread. I do the worst crime. I’ll be 10 replies in and I won’t even downvote their last comment to let them know I read it. I’m sure it’s infuriating.
I might not always be right, but I’m never wrong
I’m too scared to check tbh. Somebody tell me if I am getting downvoted because I see 150 unreads
Normally people just hardcore virtue signaling.
My first thought is always “Must be Nicole the Fediverse chick again” 😂
Find hot Nicoles in your local Fediverse!
I just got her message this morning! 😂
Most of the time I know exactly what I’m getting if I see more than maybe 3+ comments. Usually it’s me saying something anti-communist, something on brand enough for me.
Usually means you got featured on hexbear
what’s hexbear
If you don’t know, count yourself hella lucky and move on with your day.
What does your uid signify?
It’s the sexy new British emergency number lol
it amazes me with what gets the most attention.
Did you criticize the left?
“I think nano is the premier terminal text editor.”
Spicy!
