Nah...
Hmm...
And here I thought you were the biggest commenter here. That person is beating you ten-fold.
Picard Maneuver posts main topic content, which is probably more important. Can't comment if there's nothing to comment on 🤷🏻♂️
Did you ever get a chance to check your Lemmy "karma" before the 0.19 update removed it? I bet you're way up there.
I know I hit 1mil on my startrek.website account before that instance updated.
I never really noticed because Liftoff didn't show it, and I only switched to jumping between Jerboa and Raccoon now that my instance updated to 0.19, which doesn't work on Liftoff. I'm consistently upvoted more than when I get super high and say something stupid/make a joke only I understood at the time though. lol
I'm startimg to notice a correlation here
I'm glad they removed it. I used to make a new reddit account when I hit 10K.
This is the smaller of my 2 accounts right now, but yeah, I definitely don't comment at the same rate as I make posts. Kolanaki is one of the power-commenters that see in my inbox multiple times per day.
Picard does have 3.5K on their other account
Single-handedly helping the fediverse thrive.
Which is a radical act to fight tech billionaires like Zuckerberg and Musk. Who have both been reasonably accused of enabling some incredibly awful stuff.
Contributing to the fediverse is probably not the most efficient way to fight for human rights and against billionaires and fascists, but it certainly makes some sort of tiny contribution. So I wouldn't call it pointless. :)
This does make me feel a little better about my chronic internet addiction. Early on I commented even more because so many good posts sat with zero comments and I wanted more people to view them and hopefully add their own comments.
Edit: I also want to add being online all the time is why I volunteered to mod. I was not aware every one of my comments would appear with the mod icon at the time :|
I'm with you there. On Reddit I was overwhelmingly a lurker, but here I actually make an effort to regularly comment on things purely because I hope to get others talking. Once my work is done, I'll go back to watching from the shadows. (In the least creepy way possible.)
Exactly. I'm not wasting my time. I'm fighting The Man.

Yeah I don’t find it pointless at all. Doing my part too.
Dear lord, that's 43 comments/day
I don't think I go a day without seeing at least one Kolanaki comment.
Haha yeah...
I thought I had a problem...
Kolanaki sacrificing himself so we can feel a little better about ourselves o7
