Cinnamon Mistwood Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 /me places a vague, unnamed peeve here and sighs heavily. 😕 Okay, not unnamed... I'm allowed to have a bad day or a bad week. I don't always want to interact with people and it has nothing to do with (general) you. I "fake happy" at work all the time, but I don't want to in SL. Sometimes I just want to spend 3 hours taking a picture. Alone. Again, this has nothing to do with (general) you. Keeping up a conversation can be stressful and exhausting if I'm not in the right frame of mind. I use away/busy messages. Please read them and try to be understanding. /me cries into her teacup for no reason and dives back into sorting/purging inventory /me also tosses some catnip to @Love Zhaoying because I didn't realize this lion was vegetarian. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not an uncommon one, People who "follow" you without engaging even once, in any way, with any of your pics. I mean, c'mon, people. Provide some evidence that you've actually looked at the images of the person you've decided to follow! There has to be a reason you're following me -- is it just because you want a follow back? (In most cases, I suspect that is the case.) I get that people -- bloggers and merchants, for instance -- almost need to game the system a bit in order to get follows, but I can't imagine following someone without faving and/or commenting on at least some of the images on their front page. It's not that I particularly care about faves: even one of those stupid badges counts as far as I'm concerned as a form of engagement. But I'm not going to follow you back if I don't see some indication that you actually have looked at and like at least one of my pics. I'm horrible about looking through people's pictures. I generally just post mine and done. I haven't made a follow request in quite some time although I probably get 3 or 4 daily. I check their stream, note they already have 47495737 followers, see they are blog type photos(or ALL sideways shots) and just ignore their follow request. I enjoy more the pictures from people in the forums to be honest. It just seems more.personal with you all rather than some random people to follow me for numbers. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get what you say about the difference between Flickr and our own picture threads. The latter are an actual community of people who mostly know and like each other, and make a point of being supportive. Flickr is, by its nature, much less intimate. That said, my experience of Flickr is a bit different from yours. I've made real friends on Flickr -- people I wouldn't know at all but now am friends with in-world because of our interactions on that platform. Heck, I got invited to an SL wedding by someone I basically only know through Flickr. So I get what you're saying -- it's much more work to engage with people there. But one of the reasons I didn't leave when they changed the rules there was that it would have meant leaving behind a group of people I now feel surprisingly close to there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only interactions I've been getting on my photos(not that I post often) lately are the so called group rewards. Thanks... what f*%^$ am I suppose to do with that?! I understand if it was a recognition for well made art, but when I open one of those groups and browse around I see the same reward on random basic screenshots. Sooo stimulating.... NOT! I try to be as supportive as possible to the artists I know and interact with them, showing them I've seen their new work. One particular person here knows that all too well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat Luv Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) Maybe this is just me? But my new peeve is a recent one...people replying "No problem" out of context on email It feels like people at work have started using it instead of 'thanks'...I'll send over some info they need and they reply "no problem!" I wasn't apologising for sending it...it should be me saying 'NP' after they say 'thanks!' Edited April 20, 2023 by Rat Luv 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Starchild Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) In RL: people who ride my ass in the rain going 10+ over the limit. Are you suicidal or am I missing something? In SL: coming to places I think are going to be new and exciting, but then local chat is just constant gesture spam nonsense. I was invited to a very nice looking dance club yesterday, but local sounded like mfing WW2 or some crap in the background. Completely ruined the vibe.

No standards I guess, just get as much traffic in as possible and let them do whatever to keep them there. Damn shame.

I suppose it is "normal" for a lot of people to turn off local sound/voice..and listen to the stream instead. Was local "text" chat (not sound/voice) also showing all the gesture spam (or was it just the sound/voice)? If so, that ain't "normal". Although, I've been places where the reg'lars get frisky with chat crud "occasionally". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was invited to a very nice looking dance club yesterday, but local sounded like mfing WW2 or some crap in the background. Completely ruined the vibe. I just had my 13th rez day last week. In all those years in SL I had never used a gesture. I was at a club yesterday and the DJ was using gestures interactively with everyone there. Seemed like a fun way to use them. I was sent the gesture and then had to ask publicly how to use it. More than one eyebrow was raised when they discovered my in-world age. 😄 I'm now an SL teenager at 13 and I just learned how to use gestures. Not really a peeve, but I'm putting it here anyway, dang it. Maybe it will peeve someone enough to be on topic. Oh! Peeve: I couldn't be bothered to learn this aspect of SL, so I had to look a little foolish. 🙄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel too bad, I'm 10 and it took me 9 SL birthdays to figure it out. And only because someone sent one to me and it finally clicked. And don't get me wrong, I do LOVE gestures,. I use them and I laugh at a lot of them because they're funny af. It's when it gets ear piercing that I take issue with it. Which is very very rare, mind you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can spot them coming up on me , because it seems like there are so many bad drivers where I live.. They get up on me, I brake and then drive 5 below the speed limit. then turn the music up and forget they are even there. Can't stand them.. If I can't see their front end, I'm getting a new bumper.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
