I really enjoy rereading my past conversations, whether it’s texts or comments here on Lemmy. I do it pretty much every day, and I just think about the different things that could have been said. I don’t obsess over it, I basically treat it like another feed. When I get bored of Home and All, I go through my own profile.
Do you ever reread past conversations here or elsewhere? How often?
Hardly ever to be honest, unless I’m looking back through my comment history to find a specific thing I’m looking up.
That’s not counting the proofreading/editing I do on longer comments before and immediately after submitting.
Old habits die hard from years of writing papers at school. My first draft at most anything reads bad and I’ve got habits to overuse punctuation or repeat words, so to not look like I’m insane I edit. Minor efforts go a long way in getting traction on comments too
Yeah I definitely read through and edited this after the first pass
I’m the same way. I write a comment, reread it, rewrite it (repeat between two and two hundred times) then send it, reread it and potentially rewrite it again lol
