a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?
I’m a lurker, but I’m going to try to participation more.
Yep. Lurker here. In the sense that I upvote but don’t post or create content. I am just not witty enough to make a joke or creative enough to write a long winded content. But I do what I do and I think it’s alright.
I was like that on Reddit, but that was partly because it’s SO heavily trafficked and there are so many comments within any given post that you either have to be in at the start or make a popular post to have any effect upon discussion. And by “discussion” I mean more using a loudspeaker: there’s little meaningful back and forth, just presentations.
Smaller communities allow for more forum-like interaction.
you’re doing it right now! 😀 how does it feel?
I’m sorry sir, but based on this post activity I’m going to need you to turn in your lurker badge immediately.
Are you a lurker if you comment?
I think commenting or even voting counts as participating. In my view, lurking means 0% participation.
I’ll lurk on your content.

So that cat is the 1%?
My cat acts like she is the 1%
We need to seize the means of purrduction
The one purrcent
I have been posting and commenting a LOT more than I ever did on Reddit. Some small part of that is a desire to grow the platform and my communities.
Full time lurker. Part time commenter. No time creator.
I admit it: I’m a lurker 99% of the time. I do partake in the up- and downvoting though.
me too!
And thats still important

I’m primarily a lurker. I’ve been trying to be better about participating lately because I’d like to help the fediverse grow and be a meaningful online meeting place.
Same! As an introvert it is not easy though.
This is me too! I can be the quiet type even online. I enjoy sitting back and reading the discussion more than participating. Let’s see if I can break the habit though.
I’m terrible with stuff like Discord but I have no issue with forums, somehow
Also guilty. I guess the first step was admitting I had a problem. But I’m working on it. One reply at a time.
Musicalcactus is a good name!
You might say it was a sharp choice.
I mean…creating stuff takes work. Even commenting is a lot harder than mindlessly scrolling memes. My head hurts now.
I lead a mostly boring life. And the interesting parts would invade more privacy more than I care to expose. I’d love to post content. But I know better than to let too much of myself out. I already expose too much as is, but it can be worse. And nothing good comes from that.
Definitely a lurker. I rarely have anything I want to show off, and I like reading other people’s opinions and content.
I’m a lurker. Because idk what to say most of the time
Haha, same thing here. Also I think it’s not necessary to write something that is already written in three other comments. So I just upvote.
Worked out ok this time 😀
Consider the opposite. Every single person on the planet making 10 posts per day. It would be like Facebook on super meth.

Now I feel the urge to comment
I’m a lurker until I get called out like this
