Are you against editing toots for some reason? 😀

@pparescasellas yes. I am still on 3.5, so I don't have editing features yet.

@pparescasellas but theoretically I am 110% in favour of editing toots and having a visible toot version history. It's the right way to do it.

@pparescasellas I like the way this experience works in GitHub Comments and frequently use it for small corrections and have zero idea how editing history would be implemented in ActivityPub.

@ellie@pparescasellas Sure. There's a CRUD interface for AP here:

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#create-activity-inbox

I think at one point we had a collection like "modifying activities that have been done to this object" (similar to likes and replies), but I don't see it in the spec, so maybe that'd need to be an extension to start off.

ActivityPub

The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the [ActivityStreams] 2.0 data format.

@xarvos@pparescasellas I haven't had the time. I'll deal with it this weekend, probably.

Due to certain medication, it's very hard for me to cry at all.

now are those mostly sad cries or happy cries? That'd be interesting to know

It's always upsetting to all the men in this house. They Don't know that toxins are released crying that aren't released any other way. It's why we last longer!🥲👊😂

monthly probably. I love big and feer for our world. Like I cried because of the night club shooting and because Kristie Alley died. I cry at movies and shows. The only reason I don't cry is from my loving relationships.

It really depends on how often my Python tests fail. 🤭

does crying during commercials or shows count?

then, while not daily, definitely weekly

Damn, I would say I cry too much, but honestly I think people aren't crying enough. This world is sad, y'all! (Yes it's also fantastic, wonderful, exciting, scary, confusing, and everything else, but definitely *worth* crying about)

Just to be clear: "never" is "less than quarterly", so select that.

and "evrytim" is daily or more 😉

This was mocked out of me early on. It is very rare now. Won't You Be My Neighbor really got me, though.

I cry a lot. There should be a badge for that. 🏆

This is a very interesting set of results! I didn't think such a large percentage would say quarterly or less.

I'm quick to cry, and I'll do it at very sad news of the world, or syrupy fiction, or deep feelings about family and friends.

I'd probably say somewhere between "daily" and "weekly" here.

I'm quick to cry on circumstances that cause it, but I don't usually come across such circumstances.

I guess it depends. For me to have a bawl with my face in a pillow, not very often. For me to have tears because of a beautiful piece of music, image, or other moment, quite often.

I only didn't answer because you didn't have a "a few times a week but not daily" option. I am a cry-at-all-intense feelings person....joy, sadness, frustration/anger, love. And when I'm not crying my eyes are watering so it's just continual waterfalls on my face over here.

I wasn’t sure how to answer! I don’t cry much from sadness, but almost daily from something beautiful I’ve read/heard, a musical crescendo, a moving thought, etc. I consider these all “happy crying” or at least melancholy.

Very occasionally a movie or telly will, but I don't generally watch that sort of show.

whats interesting is i've gone thru stages - years where it was daily or near daily, and now rarely - can't remember when - its not that i'm happier now, just less in touch with feelings. tho the years where i cried more i had teenagers...

I can be watching a Pixar movie and start bawling at a tender moment. Or a YouTube video. I’m really sensitive. Definitely 1-3 times a week

or at re-establishment of contact after the first skip of atmospheric reentry.

Also: when I'm outside in the wind.

is there a distinction between getting watery eyes, feeling emotional, and outright crying? I get a bit weepy pretty often but very rarely have a hard cry.

@creatinglake maybe? I would kind of say when I have an involuntary physical response, like tears or sobs, counts as crying for me. I wouldn't say wistful feelings would count. I am not a certified cry-ologist, this is not crying advice.

This reminds me of the poet, Mary Ruefle's "cryalog" kept during the month of April in 1998.

"‘C’ stands for the fact that I cried, the number of C’s represents the number of times I cried, and ‘NC’ indicates that I did not cry on that day."

https://granta.com/pause/
A lined notebook listing the days of the week and noting the number of times the author cried on that day. Eg. Sun C x 2, Mon C x 3, Wed C x 1 very loud.
