When you notice people make posts but only acknowledge the users they like, do you still comment?

I don't. I'm not wasting my time.

It's a weird flex for this place.

To act like you're too good for people here, when you're here 😂

My fave is when two people use my posts to flirt with each other 🤮

@0uijaFinger that's what DMs are for 😂 it used to be cute, but somehow it just got awkward
BillyMack · 46-50, M
@0uijaFinger like me and tuna?
TurtlePink · F
@0uijaFinger people used to do this on my posts too 🤣🤣
SumKindaMunster · 56-60, M
Absolutely, let er rip.
HikingMan · 51-55, M
I try to reply to everyone. Sometimes I miss replies though.

There’s also some posts that I write which are sometimes too triggering for me to go back to.
I wrote a rhyme a couple of days ago and all I can really manage is to heart the replies that were left for me as answering them will just bring me back to the place of pain I was in.

I’ve never felt too good for anyone. Most times I feel like I’m not worthy of most people.

I hope I never made you feel like this post implies that you feel?

Be well
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@HikingMan We all miss things, that's to be expected with the algorithm and poor notification system here.

You never have, I mean people that very obviously ignore everyone on a post. There will be a bunch of replies but only certain people get acknowledged and special people get replies.

It's just too juvenile and boring for me.
Cigarguys · 41-45, C
I always try to answer everyone that replies or at least leave an emoji
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@Cigarguys I think it's respectful.

I know people say, it's my post I'll do what I want, but if they're going to ignore most of the responses, just DM people you like and ask them personally.

It's almost like they're collecting attention, they don't care about giving back or sharing.

Nope, I mostly avoid them. Muted some.
If they end up ignoring my post, I will delete it and mute them.

Honestly I don't even notice a lot of the time. I know there's plenty of times I leave comments that get no response but I've already moved on after I wrote it & I'm not even thinking about it anymore so I tend to forget I even said anything.

I do try to respond or at least react to everyone who talks to me but I know I've gotten pretty bad at it ever since I had my daughter. Idk why. I just don't have as much mental capacity for this place as I used to I guess
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@ChiefJustWalks kids will take it out of you but they're way more important than this place
Silentpleasure · 36-40, F
Devils advocate here but maybe it could be any of the following:

They are busy so they prioritize people they know

Your comment may not have been comment worthy

Maybe they don't like what you said (Doesn't mean they have to comment)

Maybe they didn't get the notification (Happens to me a lot on here)

Or maybe so much is going on in the thread that that can't keep up with everything.


In any case I feel you but also understand how it can be frustrated.

Have a great day :D
xmayax · 18-21, F
@Silentpleasure You covered what I was gonna say.

Sometimes the post is older and you’ve moved on
Silentpleasure · 36-40, F
@xmayax Right! I have sometimes gone back and answered but it all depends on what I am doing lol.
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@Silentpleasure understood, but sometimes you can tell when people are picking and choosing and that's their right but I'm not wasting time on people who choose to ignore me 🤷🏼‍♀
SilverF0x · 51-55, M
I say it if I want to. Often times only I find it insightful or funny.
No, I don't waste my time.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
I sometimes comment for other people, not necessarily the author of the post.
But most of those who repeatedly ignored my comments are muted.
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@CrazyMusicLover yup, I mute it so I'm not ever tempted to expect them to treat me like I exist
I get bored when there's a pattern of no response so I keep it pushing lol. My attention span ain't built like that
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@HijabaDabbaDoo really what's the point of getting people involved with something then ignoring them?

Seems like attention getting with nothing more to it.

I'll take quality over quantity every day.
@EldritchFox I guess people get what they want from here. It's fine, just means I connect with more than others lol
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@HijabaDabbaDoo true... I don't know why I can't let go of how things used to be. I do miss that open community feel.
fun4us2b · M
But it's also weird that I see a new post, then see that it's already a day old...
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@fun4us2b that's typical for this place. I love hitting refresh and new over and over and the posts keep getting older. Then I realize I feel so left out, I just can't see anybody
fun4us2b · M
@EldritchFox I sent a suggestion that somebody else here showed me...
scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M
SW is a circus.
We can see a lot of that behaviour.

No,not into those 'special attention' seekers.

I either mute or block them if I see this happens repeatedly.

I am not a popular person here and it doesnt bother me , not a bit.

And I have no objection blocking attention seekers here,without notice.
TurtlePink · F
If I’ve ever done things like this, I’m sorry 😢

EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@Sutten Yeah that one definitely sucks too. Like they don't want anyone to know they interact with you privately.

And I guess that's how people are, it just always seemed like EP/SW wasn't like that. Things change though 🖤

I'm proud to know you and others here.

The only thing I really avoid is the men that constantly act like they own my attention.
Sutten · 41-45, F
@EldritchFox I'm proud to know you too. You truly are special. 🫂🌻
mindstruggle · 31-35, F
I totally get this.

And yea I still comment if the post and comment are interesting but I don't expect from their reaction esp if there's a pattern.
Magenta · F
How ultra juvenile this place can be.
I won't waste my time commenting.
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@Magenta even if it's a good post/question, I won't waste my time talking to walls either.
Harmonium1923 · 56-60, M
Not sure I’d notice or care. If I have something to say I’d comment, or just hold my peace.
BillyMack · 46-50, M
I sometimes have fallen in that but it’s more because the other post when I’m not on.

The ones who I don’t like usually don’t comment on mine. So they likely don’t like me either.
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@BillyMack I just notice how some people here will ask a question and completely ignore everyone but the few people they like. When only certain people actually interact it feels very juvenile here. Like, you can't sit with us 😆
BillyMack · 46-50, M
@EldritchFox I see that too. It’s all cliquish, which I get, but it’s also not a lot of effort to interact with others.
EldritchFox · 41-45, F
@BillyMack I know that's what humans do, I just miss the days when we all interacted and learned from each other.
SUPERVlXEN · F
Nah, I eventually withdraw myself, but that’s also the result of an overall perception including me not wanting to appear pushing for staying in touch if it feels one-sided.
