Typing long ass comments and then deleting them cause it wasn't going to make a difference.
Well, typing and deleting lets me think thoroughly about where I stand in matters and what arguments I use. So in a way, it sometimes makes a difference for myself even if not posted.
Your comments look good. I think you should do more.
Hardly any comments here are important, but getting the conversation going, and then continuing requires the contributions of as many of us as possible.
I mainly post photos, and I love when someone even takes the time to say wow this was really cool or this pic made my day a little better.
Everything you do here feeds the process of making this a better and more active place.
fwiw i like reading long ass comments. usually there is something useful or insightful in there.
way more than i like reading 'ok boomer' comments.
but totally get that it doesn't make a difference and the vast majority of the replies will be of the 'ok boomer' or 'u suck' variety.
Same, but because I'll make someone mad by posting.
Refreshing
Waiting for new posts so I can make dumbass comments. Until this place gets bigger I exclusively browse all.
Pooping, honestly.
That sounds frankly unhealthy
Well, I guess I'm here for a good time, not a long time.
Pooping is unhealthy now?
I wonder if that one person ever did poop again.
If you sit on the toilet too long you risk giving yourself hemorrhoids. No bueno.
I set up a timer and I better be done when it dings!
Spraying my brain jizz all over the comment section.
Can confirm i see u around the comment section a lot
Trying to find good subs
scrolling and upvoting
Typing longass comments on my tiny phone virtual keyboard.
I can feel the pain.
All, 6 hours (or 12 hours if I sleep).
I like being forced into All by the smallness. I didn't realize I like Star Trek and D&D memes as much as I do. And if you go far enough, there's porn there, too!
Checked your profile, this guy surely does upload cock pics
I’m here for the Star Trek memes. And other memes. And bits of world news here and there
Spamming y'all with poems and sovereign citizens.
Scrolling All until my client crashes, mostly.
In terms of ‘doing’ anything, I mostly just post comments that are about a 50/50 mix of tin-foil hat anticapitalist doomer/failed democracy viewpoints and absolutely batshit statements (mostly humorous in nature, but I have a somewhat careless relationship with my past traumas).
It’s so weird, because if I added about 30% more (mostly appropriate) sexual comments, I’d be exactly the same person here as I am IRL.
Scroll through, read interesting links, engage in comments.
Participating. Reading news and community discussions.
Procrastinating work.
Scrolling through "New" since I'm an information junkie.
60% up voting comments.
15% writing comments that get ignored.
10% writing comments that people on Lemmy respond to well.
5% writing comments that people on Lemmy respond to poorly.
And the other 10%?
Randomly scrolling.
Doomscroll....
When I got time to kill, I'm browsing through subbed communities and finding new interesting one. I also spend a lot of time within my moderated communities and and getting their daily posts up.
Other than that, my time is actually spent off-Lemmy – I try to find fun/silly/interesting stuff elsewhere to share on Lemmy to drum up discussions here.
Making estimates and calculations in the comments, then replying to people who disagree with me.
Resorting the same 50 posts different ways ;-)
Shitposting, asking dumb questions, and calling out logical fallacies when I see them.
And just generally being a nuisance.
You're looking at it.
Filling the comment section with content
Scrolling, finding something to comment on, and commenting.
Yeah I actually like talking on this website.
That's great! More voices the better
Ikr
Mostly joking around in the comments section and making my sarcasm so painfully obvious as to avoid the eye strain of an "ackshually... ☝️🤓"
Scrolling
Telling people what's actually happening in my country, and then getting called a fascist because it doesn't align with what their very-independent and very-honest and totally-not-biased media tell them.
That could have been fun if it wasn't really sad :(
Maybe because you are a fascist. This would be a lot more fun without people like you on lemmy.
Aaaaand yeah, that's exactly what I was talking about ^ :/
And you know the funniest shit about that?
wikipedia:
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy
That's exactly, like exactly what I argue against, and those who call me fascist argue in favor.
I'm getting labeled fascist by actual fascists XD
Anyone can go and read your profile if they want to know what you really are.
Yeah, that's true!
And then anyone can point out (and of course quote the exact text I've said without ripping it out of context and/or rephrasing it in their own words) which of the things I said makes me fascist :)
For some unknown (although deducible..) reason nobody has done that so far though, everyone prefers ad hominem attacks.. Hm.. It's almost like actual by-definition fascists call me fascist just to make me look bad but have no arguments to support their claims.. Weird, we all know the intellectuals of lemmy would be never do that :)
No one wants to waste their time trying to debate with trash. Easier to just downvote and move on.
Yeah, so that's exactly what I'm talking about, just insults and complete lack of ability to have a normal discussion :(
So, if you have not moved on yet (if you have and/or are not willing to continue the conversation - please still think about it, it's important for self-improvement) - I have just one question for you. In theory, if you were believing in something that is not actually true (of course this is impossible, as you are clearly intelligently superior than me and your every belief is correct, but let's pretend otherwise just for the sake of a thought experiment), how would you expect to learn the truth, if you refrain from engaging in a civilized argument and call people that disagree with you trash and fascists?
For example, if you lived a few centuries ago, and believed that Earth is flat (which is a normal thing to believe at that time btw, because that was the consensus of the majority) and you called everybody who says it's round a fascist (at that time it would rather be heretic, but it doesn't matter), how do you imagine a scenario where you learn the truth?
Or are you saying that you don't care about learning the truth?
What country are you from? I don't see any fascist comments in your profile, but you do seem extremely pissed off that Ukraine is defending itself from Russia.
What country are you from?
I'm from Ukraine. You can find a little bit more info about that in my other comments - but TLDR is that thankfully I have left it before the war started, some of my family managed to escape it (illegally of course, going through the occupied territories and then through Russia, it's a mass prison now for most of the men there), but some are still trapped and trying to not get caught by the government, because if they do (and don't have enough money for a bribe), they will be sent to the front lines and probably die.
I don’t see any fascist comments in your profile
Cool, thanks, glad to see someone here with whom it's possible to have a conversation without getting called a fascist :)
but you do seem extremely pissed off that Ukraine is defending itself from Russia.
I am not pissed about Ukraine defending itself from Russia. I absolutely support the right of everyone, both people and nations, to defend themselves against an invader! I also never said that Russia are the good guys (and yet, I'm getting labeled Russian propagandist/bot as well, just saying that Russia invaded Ukraine and there is a war is a punishable offense in Russia for which I'd be sitting in jail 🤷).
The problem is, it's not "Ukraine defending itself from Russia".
There is this propaganda from Zelensky's regime that we are all volunteering to defend our country against "orcs", and he is the hero that leading us into this battle. This is as far from the truth as it gets. We want peace, which he doesn't even try to achieve (and why would he? War is what allows him to stay in power and steal millions, or likely billions of dollars). His regime needs to resort to kidnapping people on the streets and sending them to the front-lines to die. Some are refusing this and are getting sent to prisons where they are tortured. Some are trying to escape by the mountains/rivers and are dying while trying to do so. So yeah, what I'm pissed about is that the current government, supported by the west, may kill my family or my friends any day now, just like they already killed tens/hundreds of thousands already.
If it was like Zelensky's propaganda is saying where we are defending our country, and our country was not turned into a mass-prison, I'd be sending donates to AFU every freaking month. But in this reality, any support for the current government of my country is equivalent to supporting my family/friends getting killed, and as you can imagine I am not going to do that, and trying to discourage everybody else from doing so.
Shitposting and complaining about politics. I can't tell the difference most of the time.

really uninteresting porn, sadly.
Replying to threads in !tenforward@lemmy.world and !chevron7@lemmy.world so my hundreds and hundreds of hours of 90s sci-fi watching doesn't feel like a waste.
Doomscrolling.
TBH there isn't much here to doomscroll.
Mostly writing comments and reading tech news and privacy stuff. I barely write any posts.
Scroll until I get a panic attack, then smoke weed saying it will calm me down then have a worse panic attack for 45 minutes
Looking at all feed cause none of communities from reddit migrated to lemmy.
Mostly scrolling and bullshitting. Sometimes following posted links and such and engaging on the topic.
Reading comments, then wishing I hadn't. Then checking all for new fun communities/content.
Finding sources… 💩posting… :)
clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick
Either scrolling through my Subscribed feed and occasionally commenting on a post, or posting these questions in !asklemmy@lemmy.world
posting in !asklemmy@lemmy.world is indeed fun and I do it a lot :D
Uploading cock pics and learning about socialism
