It seems like a lot of people don’t post or at least don’t post on smaller communities like [email protected]
I don’t have anything important to say, what do you want from me? :P
@asterfield Your thoughts, feelings and first born child.
I can do notions, hunches, and my old shoes. Final offer
@asterfield yeah sure.
That never stopped me

People on the internet suck. No matter what, there will be someone that is upset with your words for some reason. This opens you up to harassment.
-
I just don’t want to.

I hesitated replying to this post because you are responding by redundantly @ing the user you are replying to. That is a mega pet peeve of mine and I hate it.
Have a nice day!
- I think that happens if they’re commenting from a microblogging service, not a lemmy account.
Well today I learned something.
Thank you!
It’s as I use Mbin, What does both Microblogging and Threads (Lemmy)
People on the internet suck.
They really do.
Sorry it auto does the @ on my instance (I use Mbin btw). But yeah I know that some people are hateful, I guess it’s because people feel they can be more open without consequences often.

I don’t have anything interesting to post, but I do like promoting conversation!
[email protected] might interest you
@qooqie Do you not have questions about tools or topics you enjoy? I have questions all the time for the topics and products I use.
I do, but usually a quick search shows it has been asked before and I don’t want to cause any spam
Same. I have access to almost the entirety of human knowledge in my pocket and I have nothing interesting to share.
@[email protected] Oh shit. I came to your comment. Reading “I don’t want to cause any spam” did me in.
Why do more people read books than write books? Why do more people eat than cook? It’s easier to consume than to produce.
How many newspaper articles have you read vs written?
@infreq Why does it have to be articles? I’ve read a few of them that are connected from people on Mbin but I like genuine people posting on smaller communities and things.
Why are more visitors than artists going to the galleries?
We artists have been biding our time in hiding, building our numbers, preparing for the day we have the strength in numbers to overtrhow the gallery visitors and establish a fortress inside against the world. But don’t tell anyone. /s
Just disguise your revolution as “performance”. No one will notice in time.
“I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”
I also often question whether the thing I’d like to post needs to be posted (and in the process, I talk myself out of it)
There’s the 90/9/1 rule - out of every 100 people 1 provides content, 9 interact and the other 90 lurk.
I created and post in a community, worldwithoutus but even after it got above 100 it’s usually just me posting.
Duh. I just realised I need to get to 200 before the second poster emerges.
@livus Lol yeah, it seems more people sit and maybe comment but there’s just so much room for people to talk about the topic and even do there own posts but I guess most people just want to look at it and not interact.
I post when I have something to say. I don’t post/comment for its own sake.
this
^(example of the types of comments that don’t really contribute anything)
I don’t know y’all, and when people interact, there’s no true community here. I’ll probably not remember most of your names, similar to reddit, digg, slashdot, etc etc…
REMEMBER ME!
That’s actually what I like about these sorts of communities. I recognize a few super posters and a few specific regulars from communities I frequent. (@[email protected] I want you to know that I think about you and you matter <3) But mostly I’m dealing with disembodied ideas and content. It’s a conversation with strangers who meet up to talk about certain subjects. We get little bits of each other in a vacuum. We have to address only that bit we’re given, because we don’t know each other.
I use other social media for real community. Lemmy is for camaraderie. We meet to do something, not to just be.
The only name I immediately remember is MicroWave who seems to post all the time.
Because I have nothing to share that I find important enough. I’d rather comment on something
@gerryflap Yeah it seems a lot more people are willing to comment over post, it’s nice to see people are a little active.
People hate my opinions.
You’re wrong.
I certainly do. Now back to your cave.
I have nothing to share. Funny thing is, as an IT person, I’ve even built my own blog just to have one and share obstacles and solutions I find during my developer journey, and then, once I finished and published it, I was thinking “damn, now what should I post about?” My blog is almost empty ever since then. So… yeah. As for me, I have absolutely nothing to share and I’ve made the extra mile to not share anything.
I have a feeling that the results of this question are going to be biased against those who don’t post answers.
@henfredemars Lol, guess it would be, but I guess some people may comment but not post.
Yeah, well those folks can go to hell. They’re the worst, I assume.
Also, if you do post why don’t you not post?
