I actively avoid videos with those awful thumbnails, but I figure it must result in a net gain in clicks.

Oh oops, I didn’t know you could do that. I reported them for being a bot posing as a human xD 😅

I have this displaying as a bot account? 🤖

That’s gold!

I mean, I’ll eat it like that if for some reason I can’t get to the microwave

Yes, and my partner notices it too. Slow loading, janky searches (sometimes search comes up with no results??), posts that show a mass of “deleted” comments, votes not getting logged (if you refresh the page, they’re gone). I’m American on mobile browser.

Yeah that too!

It just really looks like a person I think

Yes! I just responded with something similar lol that’s exactly how I use it and how I would take it

For message received, I use the press and hold emoji reactions, “tapbacks” I think they’re called.

For some reason I associate an actual “👍🏼” text as being less nice? Because now you took the time to open your keyboard and find the thumbs up. Like equivalent to texting “K.” Lol

Well I just went and gave it another upvote😂

Same here. I’ve been reading Steven King’s The Stand for like 2 years now😆

Well you might want a separate account for NSFW for example

I use this approach sometimes and it really works. Provided it’s the erm… simple type of crowd that doesn’t ask too many questions lol. They’ll wander around and figure it out. If they do, congratulations😂

Thanks for doing that! It’d be helpful to have it in list form too, so we can help point people to instances based on location should they be interested:)

Me too. On Voyager you can add personal tags for people. It also displays how often you’re upvoting or downvoting each user account. Very helpful for keeping track of who’s who!

I like how you put that. We really are the ones who survived😂

Fellow lurker at heart here. Kinda heartwarming to see a bunch of lurkers doing things out of their comfort zone!

It’s great! Let’s me quickly see how I get along with or not. :D

It’s for his own good
