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?

      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 mean…creating stuff takes work. Even commenting is a lot harder than mindlessly scrolling memes. My head hurts now.

    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.

    Consider the opposite. Every single person on the planet making 10 posts per day. It would be like Facebook on super meth.

    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.

      Lol same, I don’t have any AITA/relationship advice/TIFU stories ready to go. I don’t make enough waves to post to most things. I was actually trying to think of questions for asklemmy because it’s all a bit dead but I don’t want to know anything! XD

        Then ask about that! “How do I cultivate a better sense of curiosity?” or even “Ask Lemmy, what should I ask?”

    Definitely a lurker. I rarely have anything I want to show off, and I like reading other people’s opinions and content.

    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.

    I’ll start actually posting things when my favorite communities jump ship from Reddit. Until then I’ll just lurk while occasionally commenting.
