Lemmy is actually better on this. I get a lot of upvotes for well thought-out long posts and comments here as well as humorous one-liners. I've been pleasantly surprised that people actually take the time to read out my longer posts. On reddit it'd probably just get lost and be another 1 thumber that never got read.

The key is also to make your story interesting. Something that pulls your reader in. Be personal and amicable. Realize you're talking to real people and speak to those people in your writing. I'm more of a creative writing buff. I managed to eek out 98th percentile for creative writing in my SATs. I love writing. Its my favorite thing to do. I want to be an author. I fucking hate my ADHD. I've started a hundred books at least and either bore myself or tell myself its a stupid plot, even though I have friends and family begging for me to finish something.

My early books were written in small notebooks. The old ones that sorta looked like they had cowprint covers with a title on them. They'd get passed around the school for weeks. I'd get them back and people would keep asking me to continue. I never did. Fuck me, I hate ADHD sometimes. But your words are alive. They can heal, hurt, cause laughter and tears, and, above all, words can influence anything. Words are power and, as long as you are careful of that power, you can write any damn length you want.

Honestly, my fear now is AI. I like AI, but I don't want to write a book and have people claim its AI or AI assisted. I'm regretting not writing one earlier now.

tl;dr: Is k. Writ stuf.

Sorry your comment was too long I got bored halfway through

This

When I read bs here I'm always switching between this and "if no one calls this out, people might assume it's true".

Your engagement is valuable for current or future shareholders of the company owning the platform. It is of paramount importance that you engage as much as possible. Although not enough, we would recommend for example, sleeping 7 hours instead of 8 to make time for engagement such liking/disliking and commenting.

I've lived through the times when online discussion was considered "just weird internet stuff, not to be taken seriously" and then people grew up and everyone used the internet and it was the frontier of communication and was "shaping all facets of society" and now we're back at "just weird internet stuff, not to be taken seriously."

You could open a second account and agree with whatever you wrote.

And the few humans there will go "I ain't reading all that"

"wet - covered or saturated with water or another liquid."

I gotta go with the people you're arguing with on this one. Something has to be able to be dry to be able to be wet. Certain liquids can make other things wet, but cannot be wet themselves.

Yup. I do this 100%. But mostly it's because sometimes I get so hot on the subject, it feels good to get it out there and then I worry I was too brash about it. A trick I use is to leave the comment written on my phone in the background. Maybe I'll send it, but more often than not I clear it out when I clean up my background apps and go, "Well, that was decided for me."

But they have 3 upvotes and I'm at -2. Clearly everyone in this subreddit is wrong and I need to make them see that. (And then hate myself for it later on)
