  • Better than having me contribute garbage content and drowning out good content with my garbage. I'll post when I have something worth posting

  • The question seems to imply that this ratio is problematic, but it is in fact fine.

    There this sense now that “being a creator” has intrinsic value, but this value is an artifact of platforms that exploit its users creations. So much so that we now have an immense amount of low quality fast food grade, in fact toxic, content. Content pollution.

    So, whatever the ratio is. If you want to post post, if you want to comment comment, if you want to lurk lurk.

    As long as we are all enjoying the experience, who cares?

  • I'm trying my hardest. I've never created a sub but now I'm creating communities, making add-ons and trying to post. Freedom here of corporate interests is awfully nice. The fediverse is expanding but we're already seeing contracting due to the influx in early June... we definitely had community sprawl. However that was expected. Many communities are doing great! It's great to see!!!

  • i'm usually a lurker because i usually don't have anything important to add to the discussion; i don't really want to leave a lot of empty/useless comments around

  • I posted links on Reddit like 5-10 years ago... Then the power mods showed up, nuked my links for some obscure rule violation, then allowed someone else reposted them minutes later.

    I gave up.

    • Same. I have posted here twice with better luck. Reddit has some weird posting rules. Some I get. Some I think are crap. Now I usually just comment.

  • Mostly a lurker. Can't think of things that I want to post, yet I love every piece of information that Lemmy (or better said, lemmings) offers. Will try to change that, at least through comments

  • I wonder how this rule compares to real life interactions between people. Imagine having a conversation with someone and noticing 200 people watching from behind a nearby hedge.
