I do this on my phone. Two bars of wifi is not enough for hexbear
FEED ME MORE BARS! 
I do too but sometimes I forget. 
Same because of this sort of thing happening. Or back in the day, the page sometimes crashing. But at this point if it's a long effortpost of a response I'll draft it up in a text editor first.
i think i must have the habit from back when i had shitty internet a decade ago and never got rid of it
it's okay, I'll just pretend you made a really GOOD post
I just post something stupid and then edit it until I'm not embarrassed
e: with this one I just fixed a typo
I tend to type out posts then just delete them anyway so
That shit's the worst. Would be nice if there were a confirmation dialog or something
Yeah. The UI already does that if you try to close a tab with a draft comment.
Website should just post when you hit cancel or navigate away from the page.
whenever i navigate away from the page while writing a comment its bc i suddenly got anxious that my post was bad so i agree
there's nothing worse than writing a good comment, then tabbing away bc of self doubt, and then coming back to the tab like four hours later when the post is already on page 3 and everyone's moved on
I always highlight long comments and copy them, so if i accidentally delete it or hit cancel then I can paste from clipboard
the joy of posting is you get to do it again!
