If stage fright is the fear that one has, when performing
Then inbox fright is the fear/dread I have, when it comes to getting replies or reactions, after I post…
Especially if its related to political content
You never know if you’re going to pulled into a struggle session over something and sent nasty messages, overall

Agh!
Only when there are suddenly a lot of unread messages.
What did I say?
Oh no. I must have posted something that was t o o s p i c y
Uh no lol
I belive in standing on your square. I post something because I belive in it, and at the end of the day it’s just text on a screen. Like other ppl posted you aren’t obligated to response.
Yes. When I’ve just been shitposting, I look forward to responses. If I’ve made a few serious comments, I dread that I’ve angered the hivemind.
I know that it makes no sense. But I’ve been honest, and there’s some part of me that’s afraid of negative feedback.
I stopped reading my inbox.
I’ve tried to counter this by cultivating a Russian roulette mindset when opening my replies. Fuck it, open it, we’ll all find out
At first I didn’t like the fact that my Lemmy client didn’t support notifications, but it turned out to be the greatest thing about it. It basically helped me cut down on social media time.
This was a thing on reddit too. Don’t think that Lemmy is immune to group think or even bots intentionally farming divisiveness. If anything, the inconsistent moderation by design makes it even more susceptible.
I try to tell myself to just roll my eyes at pointlessly negative comments, throw it a downvote if I think it’s not contributing anything useful, and move on. Otherwise they’ll drag you to their level and beat you with experience, as it were.
If you get banned from one instance with any level of drama, the admins will gossip about you to their friends who admin other instances. Then you’re banned from two to three instances, and the next time you get into any kind of debate or disagreement, “ah, I see you were banned by three different instances, you must be a troublemaker.” Before long the situation is, “I see that a dozen instances all completely independently decided to ban you. You must be a piece of shit.” ONE person can get you kicked off most of the fediverse because of the level of trust and respect for authority there is here.
Anyway, ACAB.
Maybe on a messaging platform with IRL people, but never on somewhere like Lemmy. If anything, I really enjoy seeing that number go up! 59 unreads right now (I never check the box, the only way they go is replies).
Yes. Mostly people on Lemmy are positive, but every so often some nutsack turns up.
Used to. I realized that the worst that happens is that you pissed off some dickhead who writes bad words to you. You don’t get hurt or die or anything. It’s just some words.
Listen here, you little shit. That’s a good point.
Not me.
Booo
sees 1 new notification oh cool someone responded to something let’s see what it is
5 notifications hmm. Well something I commented on must have hit the front page / trending
22 notifications oh god what community decided to take issue with me now… (after blocking a few instances, the amount of gif and emoji spam on my inbox has drastically reduced)
Exactly the same lmao. If I have more than 10 notifications I’m asking myself what I did
