This emoji was so damn big I thought it was an image.

[โ€“] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

prefixing it with "# " makes it a heading (larger text).

[โ€“] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 9 points 8 months ago

oh, I didn't know it worked with emojis ๐Ÿ˜…

I just tought it was Voyager doing that because the whole comment was an emoji.

I usually delete over half the comments and posts I make because I keep thinking nobody gives a shit about what I have to say. I'm afraid some troll is going to pop out of nowhere and tell me to go kill myself. Reddit scarred me.

[โ€“] perishthethought@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

So, this isn't reddit. Report that shit, if it happens on lemmy.

[โ€“] crackajack@reddthat.com 7 points 8 months ago

Don't take the Internet seriously. We have Shitpost and meme communities after all.

You should kiss yourself. Pad yourself on the shoulder and tell the trolls to fuck off into the sunrise.

[โ€“] robocall@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

don't delete. you have value.

Listen, bucko, you take the post you've written, store it in your pocket, and go have a wonderful day.

[โ€“] Darkenfolk@dormi.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Never can know if people are interested if you keep deleting things. Take a chance, we are relatively anonymous here.

Also haters aren't trolls, nothing wrong with a bit of trolling.

Ya, people can be kinda sociopathic these days

[โ€“] OpenStars@startrek.website 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I AM - Thank you for your service! :-D

And now as thanks, a picture of a cat for no reason whatsoever - as is tradition!

Wrong millennia ... you want Egyptian history in aisle 18 ... this is Rome you Barbarian

[โ€“] OpenStars@startrek.website 4 points 8 months ago

Oh... what about this one?

Unfortunately I am not great at multitasking :-D

[โ€“] ignotum@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

What's the answer to life, the universe, everything?

Also, what's your favourite colour?

[โ€“] Drinvictus@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 8 months ago

Nothing special man. I just like FOSS but I'm too lazy to make memes myself so I mostly lurk and comment

[โ€“] Gointhefridge@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Just don't have a lot to say, or time to say it.

[โ€“] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I have created posts on Lemmy and enjoyed watching other users comment and engage with them. I think I enjoy it more than someone responding to my comments.

[โ€“] perishthethought@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Me too! Posting is fun!

[โ€“] MasterNerd@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

I comment a lot but seldom post. As stated a few times, I don't feel I have much to contribute post-wise

[โ€“] m0rtn@lemmy.l0l.city 3 points 8 months ago

For the glory of Rome

[โ€“] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 8 months ago

Postitury te salutant!

[โ€“] Grayox@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

I want a time machine to go back in time to teach the crowd in the coliseum the 7 nation army chant so I can hear it being chanted while 2 gladiators go at it.
