#attentionseeking — Public Fediverse posts

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

It is generally pride rather than lack of intelligence which prompts men to dispute so obstinately generally accepted opinions; they find all the front seats taken on the popular side, and do not wish to sit behind.
 
[C’est plus souvent par orgueil que par défaut de lumières qu’on s’oppose avec tant d’opiniâtreté aux opinions les plus suivies: on trouve les premières places prises dans le bon parti, et on ne veut point des dernières.]

François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶234 (1665-1678) [tr. Stevens (1939)]

Ah, the classic "this might be my last post... or not" saga. 🎭 The author contemplates their own #mortality with all the subtlety of a teenager posting #vaguebook status updates for attention. 🙄 But hey, at least they're consistent in their inconsistency! 😅

There's been a recent influx in posts with a ridiculous amount of hashtags and it's very annoying.

They #make the #posts look #messy and #hard to #read while #simultaneously giving off #vibes that seem #desperate and #AttentionSeeking.

I know I can mute specific hashtags, but can I mute the hashtag symbol altogether to ensure I never have to see another hashtag ever again?
