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 definitely more of a lurker, but I'm trying to be active in commenting at least. As for posting, I just don't have much to post about tbh.

I mean think of Hollywood or sports. Most people don't do those things but they do consume it.

Lurker. By the time I want to post something it's already been said.

[–] fartslinger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I used to lurk. Still do, but used to too.

Commenting a lot more here like I used to in forum days. Most of the threads I read I post in.

I tried to make a post yesterday but it stalled out.

The reason I comment more now is because I want to participate and I'm taking 'the internet' less seriously. This isn't real life.

Yeah I suck. And the content that I used to provide on Reddit that I thought was valuable to share was just nitpicked into oblivion. It really was a toxic place.

Since leaving Reddit definitely more participation. Even started some communities; a thing I never really cared for doing, but seems more appropriate and rewarding here!

Definitely more active than before. But still unlikely to create many posts.

I used to be a lurker. People can change.

[–] dartos@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

I used to post a lot of comments on Reddit, but never anywhere else.

I posted more on mastodon than anywhere else

[–] G234323@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

The rule is always true

[–] Striker7@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'd say I do a fair amount of lurking. I participated a lot more on Reddit, but I'm just trying to get a feel for the scene.

[–] Navarian@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I'm like 70/30 lurker to contributor I think, same deal as before I jumped ship.

I'm definitely making more of a concerted effort to interact at the minute, though, to help with numbers and so on.

Mostly Lurking as I try and learn the new space, as I get more comfortable I plan on engaging more with the community

[–] olafurp@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

The people that lurk will not participate and skew the result.

[–] EmperorHenry@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What's the percent that comments?

[–] odbod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't know, but I definitely am part of that percentile :)

I'm a lurker. Sometimes a participator. Rarely a creator.

[–] ThrillBlaze@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

first day here, and it's too early to predict in which direction this will take off. i am hoping to create and post content around day-to-day happenings.

[–] Potato_in_my_anus@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For all the lurkers out there, just comment something, nobody's gonna judge you.
