How many times do 11 people tell you they liked something you did IRL? 12 upvotes is still a lot.
Regularly but I'm a musician. I may not have heard it said explicitly, but they usually walk out humming whatever I played and that counts double.
I'm so glad to not be on other social media anymore. Posting on Facebook and having no engagement from the people you actually know and care about hurt a lot more than having a comment on Lemmy get ignored.
I have a dear friend who got pranked by someone. They set his Facebook posting options to post only at me and he didn't notice for a couple years. He just wondered why no one else commented on his posts.
We've both got slightly oversized egos relative to our accomplishments, so that must have been rough.
Whoa, that's so mean. I'm glad it was finally realized, did he ever discover who did that? I hope he's doing okay now.
He never said who did it, but he lived in a hostel that year so I think his suspect list is long
I wish it would be as socially easy to vocally approve or encourage someone as it is to put a like.
I strongly believe people would be surprised.
Be the change you want to see in the world!
Already am!
Handing out compliments to strangers once in a while, and supporting good points
The best advice I ever got was this: if a compliment about someone pops into your head, you should tell them.
Like I have to add the caveat don't be a creepy fuck (unless you know them and they like that) because there's 8 billions of us and that means there are folk who are super creepy just by law of large populations. I'm talking about real compliments, not preludes to flirts or slaps.
Absolutely! I usually pick more neutral compliments and make sure I give them to both men and women alike.
