MODERATORS
 

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 unless something actually impassions me to discuss

[–] JumpingJacks@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I don't really have much to say often, and I don't want to just make low quality comments/content.

Same, I'm a habitual lurker. But something about the fediverse makes me feel like slightly interacting....

because reddit was a firehose of low-effort posts. A lot of times if you don't reply quick enough your post gets buried under 100 other witty puns and nobody ever reads it.

It's because corporate propaganda doesn't get spammed at your from meta or wherever to waste your time and make you angry about random shit. You have a chance to see real human content about relevant things to yourself!

Nope, you are no longer a lurker. You are promoted to the 9%
