Nine-nine !

I'm a participator. I leave a comment every now and than. Maybe a post once a month or so.

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

I posted more on mastodon than anywhere else

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

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.

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

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.

I try to contribute by honestly I just have nothing to say most of the time lol

The rule is always true

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.

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.

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

I posted carrots

i dont want to lurk but english is not my native langage so my sentences looks weird when i dont use a translator

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.

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

I used to be a lurker. People can change.

Lurker.

A bit like free-to-plays, where only 1% of players spend money.

OK, I won't lie, I hear this all the time but I'm not convinced it's true.

Are there any real statistics on it which account for bit accounts? Like, if reddit claimed that 99% of its users don't make content, my immediate thought would be "how many users are real people and how many are bots?"

Does commenting count as creating content? I always thought of the posts as the content, but maybe I’m thinking about it wrong

Finally, I'm a one percenter.

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

Part of the reason is internet commentators are so mean to each other, and many of us users don’t want to be judged by someone? (Although extreme echo chamber is also a bad thing)
