Technology

Mostly a creator, back when I used Twitter and Facebook I used it as a write only medium. On the fediverse I try to read some stuff also and participate by commenting and voting.

I'm a lurker. Sometimes a participator. Rarely a creator.

Well, I've never posted (yet), but commented a few times. More than on reddit, certainly! But overall, I do think that rule is going to hold. It creeps up all over the place. At this stage, I think it is just human nature at work and, as such, almost inevitable.

I am a big part a lurker, but I also create content sometimes

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?"

Mainly a lurker. Hoping the regional sports game-day threads take off here cause that was the majority of my posting.

first day here, and it's too early to predict in which direction this will take off. i am hoping to create and post content around day-to-day happenings.

The people that lurk will not participate and skew the result.

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

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)

Finally, I'm a one percenter.

My first idea was "uh, interesting - why not do a poll for that?"

And then I noticed that would end up in some kind of lurker-paradox🤔

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

Definitely participator, but I have some ideas for contributing some day. I just don't want to share other stuff that's online, I'd rather share my research into a given topic and what conclusions I drew that might help people. I want to publish works here, not really other stuff on the internet.

Not sure if Lemmy is the place for that though, given how it's a link aggregator. People posted their works on Reddit so I'd say it's good enough to post stuff like that here
