I think a lot of the refugees from Reddit are lurkers.
Hehehehe.... lurk lurk
Lurkmore
Lurkmore who?
Lurkmore balls.
I heard it's something like 90% of people lurk, 10% of people comment, 1% of people post. So you need a pretty substantial population just to have enough posts and comments for the lurkers to still hang around.
It's also why it was particularly dumb of Reddit to piss off their 1% and 10%.
You really gonna call me out like that, homeslice?
And now I know your exact age, homeskillet.
Which is ? Come on tell me i wanna know homeskillet's age.
Well, this is awkward, I'm in my 20's.
Personal experience bets gen x.
46 years old. I'll take the over for a pack of garbage pail kids.
Can confirm. I don't talk much lol.
When I was a kid in the 70s, a lurker was a turd that had failed to flush away properly. As in : "Dad left a big beefy lurker in the toilet again." How language changes.
I think it still means that too
It's a hard habit to break
It's just a bad habit for me really. I'm so used to reddit immediately slaughtering anyone who doesn't conform with the hivemind even though Lemmy isn't like that
Yep, I’m part of the problem. Was super active on Reddit, dumped them, then just don’t really have the energy of fucks anymore to create content or comment really; it’s a shame…
It’s ok. You go when you’re ready!
You just described me.
