MODERATORS
 

a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

I'm a lurker, but I'm going to try to participation more.

[–] scifu@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep. Lurker here. In the sense that I upvote but don’t post or create content. I am just not witty enough to make a joke or creative enough to write a long winded content. But I do what I do and I think it’s alright.

God, the rare few times i put any time and effort into making something it would just get shit on. Lol

I felt the same on reddit. So far lemmy seems more positive

[–] Apollo_Katelo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'll lurk on your content.

[–] Deemo 3 points 1 year ago

Depends on the community. I do comment more than I post.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean...creating stuff takes work. Even commenting is a lot harder than mindlessly scrolling memes. My head hurts now.

[–] musicalcactus@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm primarily a lurker. I've been trying to be better about participating lately because I'd like to help the fediverse grow and be a meaningful online meeting place.

[–] Poob@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Consider the opposite. Every single person on the planet making 10 posts per day. It would be like Facebook on super meth.

[–] ShadowZone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I admit it: I'm a lurker 99% of the time. I do partake in the up- and downvoting though.

[–] Viniyur@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely a lurker. I rarely have anything I want to show off, and I like reading other people's opinions and content.

[–] Blandlytasteful@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Major lurker. Usually don't even comment. Trying to comment more here, though.

I'll start actually posting things when my favorite communities jump ship from Reddit. Until then I'll just lurk while occasionally commenting.

[–] miles@discuss.online 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are some of your favorite communities?

[–] Ghostc1212@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

r/Imaginarymaps.

[–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have been posting and commenting a LOT more than I ever did on Reddit. Some small part of that is a desire to grow the platform and my communities.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Time to contribute to a platform that I can believe in.

[–] speaker_hat@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Me too, keep it up 🤘

[–] dakar@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

On Reddit I just made a few comments and posts, mostly a lurker.
Here it's completely different, I have my own magazine, where I put the effort of making a post daily, and it actually feels better than lurking.

I comment am I important now 😭
