The number of times I’ve scrolled through somebody’s profile forgetting I’m not on the home feed. Just liking posts like I’m their bestie
I have also done this 😂
Or when you like posts that are 3 months old because you forget to look at the date. 😂
I know. I do that all the time. I feel like I'm stalking their TL when I realize where I am. 🤪
Me too!
Yep
Well this deserves a like 💕
Makes me feel sooooo much better! 😏😏😏😏
I do that all the time! 😂😂
more than 2 likes makes it bff official
All the time! And then I get embarrassed and start un-❤️-ing…then re-❤️-ing because I should just own my scrolling. It’s a cycle!
Okay. But relatable 💀😂
I often go on their home feed, start scrolling forgetting that I’m on their home feed and think “Fuck this person posts a lot”
That’s happened to me before, both ways. It’s always touching at first when someone does it to me, like “omg they love me!” Then after 15 or so it’s like “oh snap do I have a stalker now?”
Same. Maybe if profile feeds were a different color to help differentiate? But what do I know; I’m just an idiot.
Always
Is this post is foreshadowing a fix?
SAME
KWNWJWWKQJKWJWKSWKSJEJWK JÁ ME OCORREU
Well, good to know I’m not alone. Thought it was just my “low tech” showing.
Me too ✋️ Makes me feel foolish when I realize what I'm doing! But I do enjoy it!
Do mine! Do mine!
Then you add that they get notified when i like the repost too
Thank you for this one! I’m older, forgetful & spacey! Good to know it’s not just me. 😊
Hey that post from two days ago that no one else saw deserves some love
Aww
You're kind of...everybody's bestie 😁
So that's why Jerry is everywhere!
Same. Low priority, but some kind of fix would be nice eventually so it’s more obvious when you’re on someone’s profile.
Me too!😂
When is bsky gonna do something about the horrible moderation lists that's making the experience on here crappy?
Oh hai! It me.
I do this regularly. Brings me joy.
Hahaha, My Heart would skip a beat if this would happen to my Profile 😹
Brb gonna do that to you real fast
this is the way, the bsky way
I’ve found myself in that moment too! Lol
And here I thought I was just getting old. Good to know that's not unusual behavior.
That is the pre gonna follow you check out. Those shady ones with 2 posts and end of feed.
Doing it right now!
if you do this on more than 3 posts, you have to follow; it's the law
Yep, and it's not until you notice a post is really old that it clicks in that you were checking a profile! Lol!
😂 yep, I can relate.
I do think all the time, and I'm sure I look like a creep.
I feel seen, done it.
I do this a lot too. I wonder if an indicator like background color changes slightly? Just some visual state that the user can subconsciously notice
Even comments look kinda samey with feed
I’m okay with people seeing me eviscerate my mental health publicly, I just have remind my RSD that people can read between the lines and see the real me. It’s hard. I keep thinking my illness eclipses my skill set and that’s why I can’t connect. I have posted some really good Dad jokes.
Nice face save for harmless stalking there
Quick post an excuse
"OMG guys I left my iPad on the couch for two minutes and the cat went nuts with it, was liking posts on some timeline like crazy"
Its a totally mindless way to accidentally start stalking someone.
Isn’t harmless stalking an oxymoron? That’s what the police always told me.
Not today, FBI
Every bloody time.
Been there, done that 😂
It me.
I aimlessly like posts that catch my eye, sometimes I end up staring at art that looks great to me...
Yes seen done on mine. 🤔 do respect I’ve done also.
I believe it's called "fuck stacking"
i’m right here paul
This is why you should let people personalize their profile pages.
The feed becomes a bit weird and specialized but whatever
I tried to figure out a way for posts to highlight another color if I click on a profile, but I'm not smart.
Come visit me!
Nothing wrong with that. It’s when you forget you’re on your own post list and think… ‘this person gets it….’ 🤣😭🤷
LOL I do the same thing.
Same here, all the while thinking, gee this person posts a lot! Duh!
Not just crow being a dumb bird? Feel a bit better. Caww
Totally 😄
It happens 🫤
You mean you're not my bestie? Now I'm sad.
I love that, 15 likes from some unknown person going way back in time! 😁
On the receiving end, I'm, "Yeah, you like those? Come back for more." But when I do it, it's "And now they think I'm weird."
Samsies
Right?
Happens to me all the time
I'm just glad that I'm not the only one...
I do that too. It’s so embarrassing when I realize it, but I will probably never learn my lesson.
You shouldn’t feel embarrassed. This is a UI design flaw that should be fixed.
That’s a good point.
Me too !
it would be nice if other people's profile pages looked visually distinct somehow, like a big sticky header with their pic and bio at the top
Comforting to know this is a common occurrence.
So that too frequently.
Bro same
And you can also tell when it happens to somebody else liking a bunch of stuff on your profile 😆
Lol the horror
Me too!🤣🤣
"man, the home feed is absolute ass today" "oh wait, I accidentally hit the profile button"
I wish they'd give me a sin eater for my posts
😂😂😂
It's ok Paulinho everyone here thinks you're their bestie ❤️
Paulinho ISN'T my bestie yet cause he's NOT watching #valetudo
when someone does that to me, I watch and then judge them by when they stop. Which one of my posts were the one that caused them to stop? which one was too much?
Been there…done that! 🤣
I do the same thing 🤣😭
We've all done it. So maybe you can do something about it?
Same
Maybe the header should make it clear what feed it is.
Omg this happens to me all the time and it’s like liking old images of people on instagram. So cringe.
driveby likes are the best likes unfortunately, following you means i can’t like this post. it’s sad but them’s the rules
whomst among us
Omg same! I’ve done it a million times 😂
omg same
EVERY. DAMN. TIME. Now they know how hot I think they are 😭
yes, apologies to everyone i've done this to who likely thought I was stalking them, I honestly forgot where I was!
Oh no! They're gonna think I'm stalking them! Click un-heart, click un-heart... not sure if that makes it better, or worse....
Thank the gods it's a common human glitch... I often forget that no one is really unique when you get to the bones of it all.
This is not a human glitch! It is a UI design flaw.
LOL!! I got accused of "vetting so hard" they had to have a cigarette after... 😂 I was just enjoying myself!
Could be fun to add some sort of UI distinction? 👀 like let people pick an outline color for their profile that runs down the sides of the timeline
Found doing that a few times, I tell them I'm not a stalker just like their posts!
💯 same
YES. Is it possible to die of Cringe™️?
Or a stalker. 🤣
Done it enough times to feel sure some think I’m flirting 😂
You’re making them happy. They’re telling all their moms.
Get on my feed. It's a sewer.
Saaame.
I did this to you once, I think. I hope you felt violated by it. Lol.
aww paul you really do love us
Me too 😂🤣
I don’t even get embarrassed about it anymore. Meh. I did it. It happened. It happens to me sometimes too. I’m like, ope - I guess I’ve just been vetted.
Pick me.
Lol. I do that too. 😂
Same same
Back before Facebook got terrible friends would tell me they would just read the links on my profile instead of the news
SAME. Do this all the time.
Good to know I'm not the only one who does that.
It hasn't happened to (very low esteem) me yet. Does that mean Paul hasn't ever even clicked on my feed? 😭
I thought I was the only one 😬
Yep
Thanks bestie.
I have a new problem. The big account notification I just clicked on wasn't a reply to me after all🤣 Also thanks for that feature.
Been there, done that 😜 (I hope they are not annoyed by it)
Thought I was the only one
Ha I would swoon
Stalker.
I do that shit all the time. It's like turning the radio down so you can see better.
Lol
Thanks bestie!
((( ♥️)))
🤣🤣🤣 I do it too! Thanks for saying this.
Do mine 😄
Those are the keepers 😂💜
Me too. It's why I love bluesky 🤗
I do it all the time! When it has happened to me it's a nice feeling to think that your posts distracted someone enough to make them forget they weren't on the home feed
Oh I've done that to _you_, darlin'.
Why do you think he posted that? He's just baiting us. 😅
Big mood
me me!
You can be my bestie @pfrazee.com
Old besties are over rated. How you gonna find new besties on your home feed? 😂 MORE besties!
So guilty and not just once😁
I do this all the time 🫠
Done that :-/
This is not the user’s fault. It is a design flaw - looking at a profile should be visually distinct.
It's ridiculous we have two, sometimes three theme options across all apps, profiles and contexts. I want to decide what BG I get when I'm browsing a profile based on who's following who. That's the granularity I want in my visual cues. Not just light/dark/even darker modes. Way too basic.
same bestie
OK, that made me laugh, BFF
Funny cause I would get those bursts in my notifications and I thought it was a little weird. Then when I caught myself accidentally doing it, everything clicked.
I don't think this is a bad thing.
Happens to the best of us
Preach. 😒
All good - it's called being human. If anyone says they don't... 😂
