    Yeah, the dread of seeing a new notification in the inbox turns out to be something pretty chill surprisingly often

          It’s basic fear response conditioning, I doubt it ever fully goes away because being cautious of the unknown is a very successful survival trait.

          Basically every time you open that inbox you’d have to lie to yourself into believing that a negative response is an impossibility. Good luck, if you figure it out let me know.

      I blocked the notification with uBlock and just pretend nobody ever reads or comments on my comments. You can say whatever you want if nobody is around to hear it.

      Not having a global karma score that is require to post in different subreddits helps too.

      Depends on the subject. Try to criticize left wing subjects and see what happens.
