How many times do 11 people tell you they liked something you did IRL? 12 upvotes is still a lot.

    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.

    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.

    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.
