I probably delete 2/3 of my messages after I typed half of them out, because I either decide nobody cares, or because I could just upvote a comment which is pretty similar to what I would’ve written. Not sure if it’s the same for others, but I wouldn’t be too surprised.
I do the same. I like the Fediverse and want to help make it a nicer place, but I am too critical of the messages I think of sending. I often think of a message and then go “Nah that is pretty similar to what the other guy wrote, it won’t add anything new”. But maybe it makes sense just so you can see others have the same experience (other than looking at your upvotes) or maybe it makes sense because it will mean comments for bored people to read through. At least that is what I try to tell myself because otherwise I won’t be writing many comments.
I end up having to walk away from a bunch of my comments in the middle because smol childrens but then my phone decides to refresh the app entirely and lose the post because I was out of the app for longer than 30 seconds and I can’t be arsed to track the comment I was replying to back down to finish the draft that I know is saved.

I keep a count of mine. I’m at 4 written then not posted comments so far today.
