I still remember this epic comment from @[email protected]. It's funny because cm0002 is like one of the most active posters I see around.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Why do I too remember that post and the comment, huh, I might be spending a lot of time here

It's ok to be a lurker. Lurkers, I'm happy you're here with us.

  • 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?

Frequent lurker here, I just have such a hard time getting my thoughts out into words that’s relevant to a conversation. Add in an irrational amount of aversion to negative feedback (real or perceived) and it just feels better to just keep scrolling.

One day I’ll get better at this, it’s not easy when my socializing experience has been dominated with negativity both online and offline.

Half the time I post a comment trying to contribute in some way but get downvotes so I'm scared to post any comments.

Additionally, I never post news articles I see because if the content of the news is bad (eg a news article about something bad google is doing), Ive seen others and myself get downvotes

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Counterpoint: By posting things that get downvoted, you still contributed and added to the discussion by exposing people to a viewpoint divergent from the ones they perceive normaly.

Or your contributions are just shit takes. That could be the case too. /s

Goddamit squirrel I'm trying, ive got years of lurker conditioning to break.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Sorting by new helps, so you don't feel like you're too late to be heard if you comment. Making posts, now that's extra tough.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Much better than screaming into the void of the same stupid jokes and bots on reddit though right?

But Lurkers are great at defending from enemy infantry in StarCraft.

Sorry, I lurk. Sorry.

I’m doing my part by flooding Lemmy with opossum and bat pics. Maybe an occasional raccoon if the mood is right.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I'm doing my part, are you?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Lemmy is far and away the most active I've ever been on social media, then I see a three month old account with 2K comments and suddenly feel like a lurker.

I have been getting more stoned in the past few days, in the hopes to provide more absolutely terrible jokes, however I went too far and binged a bunch of Mr. Rogers videos on YouTube with dabs.

Have you guys seen this man?! Someone this kind actually existed! Like man. Everyone needs to see Mr. Rogers stuff I think, it's like, proper positive and stuff.

Im not! I furiously type my thoughts on every post I can to let my opinions be known to the community!

Are my almost daily cat pictures not enough for you?!

If you upvote and downvote in a genuine way, you’re improving the lemmy experience imo by lurking.
