Too late, lurkers don't comment!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
You can't tell me what to do!
I'm descriptive, not prescriptive!
I still remember this epic comment from @cm0002@lemmy.world. It's funny because cm0002 is like one of the most active posters I see around.
Why do I too remember that post and the comment, huh, I might be spending a lot of time here
They really upped their game!

Half the time I post a comment trying to contribute in some way but get downvotes so I'm scared to post any comments.
Additionally, I never post news articles I see because if the content of the news is bad (eg a news article about something bad google is doing), Ive seen others and myself get downvotes
Beehaw.org has disabled the down vote button/doesn't federate down votes. So you could try posting over there, it's pretty great
Counterpoint: By posting things that get downvoted, you still contributed and added to the discussion by exposing people to a viewpoint divergent from the ones they perceive normaly.
Or your contributions are just shit takes. That could be the case too. /s
It's okay, you do already much more than most of us working on Photon
I absolutely understand that regarding political/news communities, I bet your experience is very different in entertainment/hobbies communities

Hey I even upvote sometimes!
But saying anything on the internet is too scary... :(
So brave of you to say what we all only dare to think
Doing my part :) used to be a pathological lurker and Lemmy made me regular commenter and poster :)
Nah you all can have some lurk as a little treat. You deserve it!

Lemmy is so much better for actual commenting and discussion. Itβs like our threads range from a small room full of people to an auditorium full, while that other place most of us left was like a professional sports stadium full of people who all have a bullhorn and one rich weasel with camera who gets to decide who is on the Jumbotron.
the hell am i supposed to do here, there's like- barely any posts in my subscribed tab, and the things i do reply on don't get interactions at all LMAO
might as well keep lurking if it's gonna be like that
Are you interested in finding more communities to subscribe to?

I comment a good bit but rarely post
Lemmy is far and away the most active I've ever been on social media, then I see a three month old account with 2K comments and suddenly feel like a lurker.
I comment! Sometimes!
And then there was last night where someone called me "brain fucked" for (allegedly) not understanding what conservatism is. Ah, internet discourse.
I'm doing my part!
I'm doing my part by posting reaction images every day.
I am here, my friend πββοΈ
What's so bad about being a lurker?
Ok!
Hi :)
i comment a lot and its a 50/50 on if people hate the comment or think Im normal
Sorry

But .. but what if someone downvotes me?
Nothing makes me feel more powerful than getting downvoted and not caring while having a bunch of people who clearly care a lot about votes tell me I should care about downvotes.
Go ahead and downvote me, it literally doesnβt matter.
