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

Went from 100% lurker on Reddit to regularly active lemmy commenter

I have family very seriously investigating citizenship to another country via ancestry.

Not like the past election cycles where the losing side bellyaches about moving to Canada or whatever, they’re actually gathering birth certificates and planning a visit to the embassy

Naturally I should qualify for it too but that feels like a very nuclear action

Fuck yeah, vacation to Australia here i come!
