lol, but I also get notifications to replies to a thread. So its all mixed.
I couldn't keep my mouth shut when I should have ignored someone's comment that
a) made excuses for a AAA video game company's abusive practices
b) minimized the homophobia, racism, transphobia, sexual abuse or enablement of these when it comes to a singer, actor or politician that they like
c) trolled the MCU threads to tell the people that enjoy any of them that they have bad taste and "don't understand real cinema" like they always do, which literally doesn't matter and shouldn't bother me at all.
So when I see a notification, it's usually a retort and it's usually my own fault because I still don't know when to ignore shitposts. Even when the thing I'm arguing about it doesn't matter.

Honestly, if my post is against the general opinion of the thread, I usually wont even go back in the thread.
If my post is in a hot topic, I may go back once or twice until I see certain general posts or replies to me that tell me its time to nope out the thread.
Between the time next gen consoles were rumored to now...its taught me some things are not worth even trying to discuss with some ppl.
Same for Covid related topics. I just say my peace and bounce. Or I make sure to go to the last post if some days passed, so I dont even have to see if someone replied to me.

I never do cause I never say anything worth while unfortunately. Even when I try to get some discussion going.
I think the one time i did, I said something dumb cause I mistakenly remember something and got jumped on. I hated it.

lol, this too.
The 2020 US election was a wild time on the forums.
usually i assume i made a casual generalization that nobody was supposed to take seriously and am getting dogpiled or something.
No one really pays attention to what I say so I'm actually pretty thrilled to see people quote me on whatever.
I got you covered, friend.
I always forget what threads I'm watching, so it's usually more of a surprise to see I have something waiting for me to read.
If I have 7 or 8 notifications that someone quoted my post, it's either a bunch of people agreeing with me, a bunch of people disagreeing with me, or I didn't word my post well.
It's always a toss up.

Usually bad lol
I once made a thread jokingly calling Fumito Ueda a coward
how dare you!

That has happen on multiple occasions for me. It's usually because people are upset about something I've posted. Most of the times it's because of English being my second language. ERA is brutal and never give the benefit of the doubt lol.
I was praising him on the Pixel Remaster arrangements lol
Yeah, because there are so many false-progressive nut jobs that bash you for having 2021-dissenting opinions. If you don't meet their "Liberal" checklist, you're f-ed. Have you _seen_ any religious/cultural threads?
Quote me, fools!
