MODERATORS
Well, typing and deleting lets me think thoroughly about where I stand in matters and what arguments I use. So in a way, it sometimes makes a difference for myself even if not posted.
fwiw i like reading long ass comments. usually there is something useful or insightful in there.
way more than i like reading 'ok boomer' comments.
but totally get that it doesn't make a difference and the vast majority of the replies will be of the 'ok boomer' or 'u suck' variety.
Your comments look good. I think you should do more.
Hardly any comments here are important, but getting the conversation going, and then continuing requires the contributions of as many of us as possible.
I mainly post photos, and I love when someone even takes the time to say wow this was really cool or this pic made my day a little better.
Everything you do here feeds the process of making this a better and more active place.

Refreshing
Waiting for new posts so I can make dumbass comments. Until this place gets bigger I exclusively browse all.
Spraying my brain jizz all over the comment section.
Can confirm i see u around the comment section a lot
Pooping, honestly.
That sounds frankly unhealthy
Well, I guess I'm here for a good time, not a long time.
I set up a timer and I better be done when it dings!
scrolling and upvoting
Trying to find good subs
All, 6 hours (or 12 hours if I sleep).
I like being forced into All by the smallness. I didn't realize I like Star Trek and D&D memes as much as I do. And if you go far enough, there's porn there, too!
really uninteresting porn, sadly.
Replying to threads in [email protected] and [email protected] so my hundreds and hundreds of hours of 90s sci-fi watching doesn't feel like a waste.
Doomscrolling.
TBH there isn't much here to doomscroll.
doom scrolling past all the German and Linux posts
Mostly writing comments and reading tech news and privacy stuff. I barely write any posts.
Looking at all feed cause none of communities from reddit migrated to lemmy.
Mostly scrolling and bullshitting. Sometimes following posted links and such and engaging on the topic.
Either scrolling through my Subscribed feed and occasionally commenting on a post, or posting these questions in [email protected]

Finding sources… 💩posting… :)
Uploading cock pics and learning about socialism
Checked your profile, this guy surely does upload cock pics
Scroll until I get a panic attack, then smoke weed saying it will calm me down then have a worse panic attack for 45 minutes
clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick
Reading comments, then wishing I hadn't. Then checking all for new fun communities/content.
Spamming y'all with poems and sovereign citizens.
Scroll through, read interesting links, engage in comments.
I’m here for the Star Trek memes. And other memes. And bits of world news here and there
Scrolling All until my client crashes, mostly.
In terms of ‘doing’ anything, I mostly just post comments that are about a 50/50 mix of tin-foil hat anticapitalist doomer/failed democracy viewpoints and absolutely batshit statements (mostly humorous in nature, but I have a somewhat careless relationship with my past traumas).
It’s so weird, because if I added about 30% more (mostly appropriate) sexual comments, I’d be exactly the same person here as I am IRL.
Procrastinating work.
Making estimates and calculations in the comments, then replying to people who disagree with me.
Resorting the same 50 posts different ways ;-)
When I got time to kill, I'm browsing through subbed communities and finding new interesting one. I also spend a lot of time within my moderated communities and and getting their daily posts up.
Other than that, my time is actually spent off-Lemmy – I try to find fun/silly/interesting stuff elsewhere to share on Lemmy to drum up discussions here.
Scrolling through "New" since I'm an information junkie.
60% up voting comments. 15% writing comments that get ignored. 10% writing comments that people on Lemmy respond to well. 5% writing comments that people on Lemmy respond to poorly.
And the other 10%?
Randomly scrolling.
Participating. Reading news and community discussions.
You're looking at it.
Doomscroll....
