my nightmare is somebody knowing all my unsent comments

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yea, IDK about OP, but the "well thought out" comments are not the ones I abandon.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 5 points 9 months ago

I suppose that's good. I just now that I personally will put too much thought into something I shouldn't even be doing.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I abandon ones I fear an emotional person will reply to, and usually I put more effort into thoroughly making such comments bulletproof to begin with, so I’m with OP.

Introducing Reddit's latest AI feature! We take all the comments you didn't post, jazz em up a little with our AI, and share them with the world!

You know that's not bad. like an "intrusive thought" gimmick bot.

Wait you meant under someone else's account name right?

I'm pretty sure most social media sites save those, what you decided not to say is valuable data after all, and trivial to collect and store. Probably not most Lemmy instances though since the code is open source and I assume someone would have complained by now.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

that would be wild. that doesn't sound valuable enough to bother with, even for feeding a shitty LLM.

this is probably bad evidence but every ui I've interacted with is trying to preserve data and only send info once it seems certain you're posting. even reddit doesn't count your comments as edited until you make changes several minutes after commenting. since so many of these services seem to store actions in a buffer before sending, I don't think that's worth the data cost of live recording your drafts.

your keyboard app on mobile however.... yeah that shit is an info harvest on the scale I think few things are

Peeking at unposted messages is not new territory for many companies, including Facebook. In 2013, two workers there compiled data from 4 million users on what they called “last-minute self-censorship” — status updates, posts or comments that were written and then deleted.

About 70% of monitored users, they found, had self-censored that way over a period of about two weeks, and that rate changed based on lots of factors, including the makeup of their friend groups. But the focus of the research was all business: With too much self-censorship, they wrote, the social network “loses value from the lack of content generation.”

uckkkkkkkkk fuck what am I even supposed to do with this info. I can't afford to engrave some bullets for Mark Zuckerfuck this weekend. and I'm too stupid to play "touch-move" chess with my comment drafts.

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Time to delete facebook I guess :)

not on it ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯ I'm down to fediverse and youtube with 3rd party front ends. I just said shooting Mark because fuck that guy I don't need a reason

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh I would love to see all the scandalous unsent comments...

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

it's not that entertaining. usually either straight up thirst or just annoying argumentative reddit shit that I'm trying not to be. Fediverse is a beautiful place when we're using our better judgment. it's full of people who I feel like disappeared from reddit right before the bad times started and I'm getting back in touch with the part of me that wanted to be like that too

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

O well. I thought we were bringing out the guillotines soon. That's nice too I suppose.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago
