Yea that’s definitely me
Rebel rebel rebel!
But I like being a lurker 😟
Too late, lurkers don’t comment!
You can’t tell me what to do!
I’m descriptive, not prescriptive!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
I still remember this epic comment from @cm0002@lemmy.world. It’s funny because cm0002 is like one of the most active posters I see around.
Why do I too remember that post and the comment, huh, I might be spending a lot of time here
They really upped their game!
I don’t think making feud posts is contributing.
- Presses reply
- Types an insightful comment
- Looks at it. There’s something wrong with it. He just doesn’t know what.
- Erases it. Starts over.
- *Still doesn’t feel right *
- Hits cancel, discards the comment, and goes back to doom scrolling.
How often did you contemplate posting this comment?
A couple times haha
I can tell with the editing lol
I figure that there are plenty of other people that can tell me what’s wrong with my comment, so just post it and let others work for you for free.
I worry the same way, but mostly just when I’m commenting on something hurtful. Like if a commenter is being agonizingly wrong about something really important, spreading lies, you know the kind. I’ll get worked up and start writing a comment, but realize that any point I make can be nitpicked and invalidated even if it’s broadly correct. So I don’t post those comments.
But when it’s not in response to someone being inflammatory, I feel better about just doing my best with what I write. If someone has a correction, well that’s a good thing! I’ll acknowledge it and edit my comment to include the better info I’m given. I can hope that the people reading it don’t see that I was wrong on one point and decide I’m completely wrong because I try to interact respectfully.
I felt this in my bones.
HELLO NOT LURKING WE JUST HAVE NOTHING USEFUL TO CONTRIBUTE THANKS
I DON’T LIKE POSTING MUCH BECAUSE I AM TRASH
You both should come join us in shitposting. One of us!
HI INFORMATIVE AND INSIGHTFUL RESPONSE
It’s ok to be a lurker. Lurkers, I’m happy you’re here with us.
And we’re here for you.
Hey this user isn’t a lurker!! They’re a big fat phony!!!
How do people think of stuff to post?
You do a ritual to appease the Blood Gods, and beg to gain a fraction of their creativity for a moment in time.
Or you post about beans and potash.
Ok, I won’t lurk. I’ll post some comment.
Bla bla bla Linux bla bla bla
Bla bla Arch bla the way, bla bla bla… Bla bla bla bla!
Don’t forget the new socks that apparently come with it
Bla bla bla Hyprland is a dyanamic tiling window manager that doesn’t sacrifice on the looks blah blah.
It’s hard to engage with other posts when most of them are about Linux or American politics. Two things I don’t really want to spent a lot of time engaging with.
Besides that it’s mostly old memes which isn’t worth commenting on.
Other niche communities I’m interested in are not that active. Even though I’ve posted in them Tue lack of engagement isn’t a motivator.
good morning, people
Making assumptions there, bud.
Locks eyes irritability
all of the communities i follow are deathly silent, kinda hard to contribute when you have nothing worthwhile to post and nothing you can comment on
Yeah many communities I’m interested in have so little users and even less people who post/comment. Some are inactive for days
Talking to people is scary. :(
I use mint btw
omelette du fromage
