That feeling after your 4th edit, when the story you wrote out finally flows cleanly and doesn’t have any snags that will spur an internet argument, then you hit cancel and move on without posting it.
For me it was Discord. Entered a server, was all cool, but people there had the weird habit of making bots and saying “hey that’s my alter” (no, “Hawk Two” as in Two from BFDI riding a hawk is not your alter ego no way). I tried to say those jokes weren’t funny, guess what? Got doxxed.
I usually edit several times to avoid typos but when I edit to correct my comment because I was told I was wrong and they were right, I usually cross the old text so poorly know I was wrong and the other comments don’t seem crazy or me disingenuous.
some stupid thing or lacking proper contextnah I was wrong.
Haven’t tried it personally, but from what I know it’s supposed to fix some of QWERTY’s pitfalls. QWERTY was originally made for typewriters and has some things in mind to avoid jamming (i.e. placing letters that appear next to each other in words far from each other on the keyboard). Modern keyboards don’t have those mechanical limitations any more; from what I know DVORAK and other alternative layouts try to optimise things by placing most used letters on the home row and alternating between hands, but now have to overcome the fact that maybe 99% of people are used to QWERTY.
I mean like if that’s what happens then like whatever it is is what it is like if I don’t feel like finishing my thought what are you gonna do about it it’s just really whatever you know?
Me, who edits comments over and over until I believe they convey my message correctly.
You, who didn’t even double check that your fingers were on the home row, but submitted the comment, regardless.

Typing out the comment then delete it is therapeutic, but without the traumatisation of getting piled on.
After my Reddit ban now I’m really cautious what I post anywhere. I’m traumatized

Oh shit
I hate that bro
yeah and I mean I’ve got ice cream RIGHT on the conveyor belt and she KNOWS it
TBF the home row wouldn’t matter. There’s enough food stuck between the keys that what you press isn’t what you get anyway.
shit that’s where my gummi bears went thanks

I love that type of editor! It’s called Ai.
I have that habit. Then I get really angry replies where people accuses me of stealth editing posts.

I occasionally append an edit line to my first submission to fuck with the convention police
Edit: why all the downvotes??
Forgot about home row, they tried to teach me to type their way but I didnt like that
Now I type faster than most but thats not saying much
However I look at the keyboard only, instead of the screen only like they tried to teach
My way I can move my fingers as fast as possible and i’m accurate, I know what key I hit so I know what it says on the screen without looking
try Dvorak
Isn’t that just keys in different places. How does that help long term?

…edits comments over and over - and often after posting them.
