I didnt say a couple of comments. I said to some people there is no point in commenting if you agree with the majority opinion. Thus all your comments end up being disagreeing.

The study identified this behaviour as a subset of users and labeled that as trolls which could be moderated before “causing harm” thats insane to me.

Its about how you frame the information. Your framing sounds negative when there is actually quite a lot of positive traits there. Just leave out the dislike of dogs or you’ll get cooked.

Repeating bad faith talking points isnt trolling. To me its a perspective issue. What I think is bad faith talking points might be reality to another person.

You can post a comment disagreeing and not reply. Not every comment has to be seeking out “worthwhile debates”

Disagreeing isnt trolling. On reddit you see so much stuff that is so plain and agreeable its not worth adding agreeable comment #2000. So it only becomes worth commenting if you see a post where you actually have a disagreement with the majority.

Nah. What’s the Benefit of using one?

Nah get sick don’t try and avoid it.

Dam that dude can sing pretty well

Every time i see a fully germen meme I laugh and assume its funny if you know German.

No more wars is the coldest take ever but good on him for critizing trump. He should go way harder on trump next time.

Oh one around the neck one just behind the front legs. That makes so much more sense than what I was trying to do.

Now for the extremely hard part of getting them in and used to being on a leash.

This could be good if implemented right. However I have almost 0 faith this will be implemented right.

I got scammed. i brought a guinea pig leash and harness from the store. It looked simple enough to setup now that ive taken it out of the package i have no idea how this thing is supposed work. No instructions no pictures.

Play on small game servers at the same time every day. Eventually youll start seeing the regulars and then its just a matter or trying to break into the friend group.

Outside of that you could try discord but its like wading through a sea of shit. If youre over 25 it will be very hard to find a group that doesnt eventually end up filled with kids or everyone has gotten on with their lives.

Finally my Skype logs are deleted. If those ever leaked I’m cooked.

Especially the ones where I got scammed in runescape.

The bots post better comments than most of their users.

Highest effort rugpull attempt. Just create a coin called good investment coin and pay an influencer to promote it. So much easier than trying to get the Linux community to buy into this.

The pure smugness radiating off that man as he inhales 100% pure vent scent. His smug aura mocks me and I need to print that.

Just send them a link to Lemmy.world with whatever frontend you think they’d like best.

Youre right that there are social rules saying you shouldn’t. But when you’re confident and have social skills you can break the rules.

If you trust yourself to have the social intelligence to pickup on signs of disinterest or irritation then go for it. Start with a casual chat and have 0 expectations. You’ll feel if its right to ask for their number.

If you know you dont have good social skills then just play it safe and find some mixed groups and just try make friends with as many people as possible.
