Don't read/clear your replies and you too can achieve this glory:

My reaction to seeing new message notification on Lemmy: "Oh God, who did I piss off and which comment was it?"
It happens a lot less often here than it did on Reddit, but I too get a slight twinge of dread from it.
The secret is to always piss someone off. No more mystery.
Idk what the heck y'all are doing to warrant worrying about your notifications, maybe I'm doing Lemmy wrong or something
Lemmy is for sure more chill. It used to be more chill when I first signed up and even the political communities were quite cordial even when there was a difference in opinions, but some reddit refugees brought their negativity and one-upmanship attitudes with them when they migrated here.
I still have a more positive experience overall here, but every now and then the most innocuous comment can set off a bunch of people's tempers.
Yeah definitely agree, was very nice during the original big exodus. And I do notice a very Reddit style of dialog pretty often, but I also notice people saying "oh actually you're right and I was wrong" here, not infrequently.
But then I also think some key (ongoing) world events have put everyone on edge. For myself I'm much more prone to an uncharitable read these days, due to all the apologia (and outright propaganda) I see for stuff I can't stand.
Nicole, is that you?
I treat my inbox here like my email inbox (I have 548 'unread' notifications).
Pffft, amateur:

(I've set upvotes to blue, just to be clear so you don't think I've downvoted you.)
Wait, are you using thunder? For me it just shows 99+, does it skip straight to 999+ once you get there? I assumed it was showing 99+ cause they didn't wanna fit more than 3 digits on the nav bar icon
Edit: nvm, that looks like a different client- which client are you using?
No need to brag
Ah yes, email, the medium meant to...never be read? You're a monster.
1/3 people riffing on the joke.
1/3 people taking the joke seriously and losing their shit because I was "wrong."
1/3 people who are illiterate, didn't get the joke because they couldn't comprehend what they were reading and losing their shit for absolutely insane reasons.
Unless I preface it with "Seriously, tho" I ain't being serious 'bout shit.
I started to use tone indicators recently, i think i am going to use them more often on Lemmy
I made a WAR IS PEACE comment as sarcasm, referring to the current US admin's actions, and someone called me a hitler supporter.
Lmfao, dude never even read a cliffnotes of 1984.
I’ve been having a hard time reaching you. The bodies are going to work their way out of the soil. With all the rain and the construction, they’re finding their way topside soon. You still live near enough to find your way there without drawing any attention, right? We’ll piecemeal the disposal between the two of us. Don’t disappear again.
I get excited because lemmy has actually the coolest people on earth.
Also voyager?
Pov: it's a reply yelling at you for something.
Only to realize it is just some tankie using 3 seperate accounts to underline their utterly deranged and irrational argument against you.
(1)
Oooh, someone’s disagreeing with me or using some argument fallacy to make themselves more right.
Hope you have a lovely day
I'm very bad at managing my inbox when there are replies I don't feel a need to reply to... And probably there are ones that got lost in the pile who I did wanna chat with 🥲

Eh. Its a just a reply. Not even worth the time replying to the vast majority of the time.
