If the movie or show doesn't have a decent twist (ala something like The Good Place in every season basically) then I'm just constantly bored.
PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. Our own Aeronmelon is going through some shit at the moment and could use some help. Check it out here and consider an upvote or a comment to push it into activity. Sorry, not something I do often or will be spamming. But I care about my friend and if I can get a couple more eyes on his situation then I'm going to try to do what I can. (Last one I promise. Just twice)
SPAMMING OVER 30 COMMUNITIES IS INAPPROPRIATE.
So maybe stop spamming this comment everywhere?
They're not even correct. I don't post in over 30 communities and I only added the text to 29 posts. So... They're accusing me of something that's not even accurate while doing the thing they're accusing me of.
Even if it was in however many communities, you're not posting the same thing in each one. By definition, not spam.
I feel like you definitely earned yourself a soapbox. You’re a pillar of the community and many days your posts were literally the first thing to make me laugh :-)
Eh. I wouldn't say I earned it. Taking advantage of being a recognizable name? Oh 100%. I can't deny that. My literal thought process was "I post a lot and people see my name a lot so there's a chance someone can see him and help him where I can't." But I don't want to do it at the expense of something else. There's a reason why despite adding that text to the posts, all the posts were still relevant to the community. Didn't have a title drawing attention to it. They were just there for if someone did want to look into it. And I messaged every (active) mod of every community that I posted in. It got removed from a couple communities. Another one has a mod put a warning. That's fine and I get it. I'm not pissed or upset or anything. I am fully aware that what I'm doing is definitely privileged and taking advantage of that. If this ruins my Lemmy reputation then that really sucks but I have zero regrets for trying to help a friend.
I’m biased, I think I subscribed to all the ST communities first and this place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop except for you :-)
I see it as kind of like when folks would have a similar message as their default signature in the sense that trying to do a wee bit of social good at a critical time for someone predates even the open internet. If this really bakes people’s noodles, it’s them not you. And it was attached to a very low volume of your posts, and done below the “fold” in the one I saw. You couldn’t have been more respectful of people’s sensibilities without doing nothing, and you had a moral obligation to do something!
Some folks just love to vent, they’ll find something new to be passionate about in hours or days. Most of them will be looking for the next dopamine hit in a few minutes.
I did feel nervous doing it because I do get it. It can be annoying seeing it a lot and I didn't want to over do it. Honestly... I didn't even think about the fact that I was actually having posts added onto it. I just don't like using the position I seem to have on Lemmy to aggravate people. I just wanna be fuckin chill and everyone else be chill. Not like I succeed in that all the time but still.
I'm just a sensitive lil gay boy lol
LOL say it loud and proud AFIK you’re one of the people who made Lemmy what it is today.
You earned yourself a soapbox and I’ll die on this hill with you :-)
Nah. The users made it what it is today. I just added in stuff that I had saved so everyone had someone to talk about. I don't do a whole lot and I am adamant about that. If everyone else wasn't engaging and being awesome then I'd just be shouting into the void. I'm one dude.
Oh captain my captain 🫡
*looks at comment history*
Good god.
Yeah... they literally said 'tit for tat' so it's not like they're anything more than a hypocrite here. "YOU DID A BAD THING AND NOW I SHALL BECOME THE BAD TO SHOW YOU HOW BAD YOU ARE" lol
I'm literally using their post history to uptoot every one if your comments/posts, hopefully boosting activity. So they're helping more than they would have ever wanted
Drop a comment on the link that it's going to as well! It helps push it up on the activity feed for that community and for All so that other people can see it <3 If you don't mind of course. I ain't about to try and force you to do something you don't want. But my whole goal here is just visibility. Not asking anyone to donate. Asking people to look and consider their options.
Thank you though. A lot. I know he appreciates it too <3
On it, cap 🫡 Your posts have been a pillar of the Lemmy community for as long as I've been around, least we can do is help with visibility :)
