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.

        The nice thing about this right now is that you don’t need to feel witty or creative to post stuff as long as it fits the community you’re in. There aren’t enough people to compete with for posts to get attention, that’s the main attraction to smaller social media environments: you feel like you matter more.

            In a threaded site like Reddit or Lemmy, one liners and higher effort comments can coexist. I enjoyed the joking around, sing alongs, even the puns. Then you keep scrolling or collapse the thread and you can get to the more serious replies.

            As long as the comments are in good faith or good fun and try to add something, I approve of them.

            It was the bad faith stuff, people trying to compete in the victim Olympics (not saying that victims shouldn’t speak up, I mean the people who are just looking for the next thing to be offended about), and attention whoring that I didn’t like. Also the people obsessed with tying every conversation back to what group of people they hate or their political position or the political position they hate. Though I guess on the bright side, those ones did make me feel better about the possibility the world will end soon.
