just wanted to let everyone know that i do read everything, react IRL, and upbear. my social anxiety and ADHD has crawled even into my posting/commenting online which i was immune to when younger. i was wild in early forums and chatrooms
also not sure how long is too long to reply. things move slower in the lemmyverse but i’m so afraid of a reply being too “stale”
whats everyone else think about reply/comment protocol real or imagined?
Don’t worry about late/no replies. This is just how the internet works:
- People can visit a post long after it’s been submitted.
- It is generally accepted that people can be busy or have abandoned an account.
- There is only so much to say about any topic, and it is impractical/impossible to keep replying just for the sake of it. Two such people would generate a neverending thread.
I feel guilty if the post is more than an hour old, but I always upbear. I appreciate the peeps who actually post, y’all the real mvps.
I feel that. I try my best to do this
I have replied to comments that are two years old
Same as you I try to at least say SOMETHING to everyone although that doesnt always happen
