This has happened a few times to me lately, on topics I’m quite knowledgeable about, then I get to the end and can’t be arsed with the drama. Does anyone else do this?

Ah come on, you don't have to reply if someone gets snarky. Just ignore them and their drama. It shouldn't stop you from giving your opinion. You could help someone.

Yes. Specially if it's something other people on the thread are saying too

Yes, I have did this exact thing very recently because

LittleRedRidingHoody · 18/11/2024 20:18

Yep. I find it really cathartic. Normally happens when I really disagree with a post, or it triggers me somehow - I'm a people pleaser and don't like arguing online, so typing out my argument and deleting seems to be the best policy!

WinterCrow · 18/11/2024 20:16

Yes, and it's becoming more frequent.

Iwontlethtesungodownonme · 18/11/2024 20:16

Yep.

Octavia64 · 18/11/2024 20:16

Yes.

It's an excellent policy on social media.
