Every 3 months here, but I comment more than I did on Reddit. I remember reading a meme about how there’s no point commenting on a post that’s got more than 100 comments already and realised how true it was.

    tbf, I noticed a fair amount of 4 post a year Redditors back in the day. I was often like that back then. 10% of the users provide 90% of the content or something like that. Most social media users are probably lurkers rather than serial posters like me, and that's ok.

    I probably delete 2/3 of my messages after I typed half of them out, because I either decide nobody cares, or because I could just upvote a comment which is pretty similar to what I would've written. Not sure if it's the same for others, but I wouldn't be too surprised.

  • I end up having to walk away from a bunch of my comments in the middle because smol childrens but then my phone decides to refresh the app entirely and lose the post because I was out of the app for longer than 30 seconds and I can't be arsed to track the comment I was replying to back down to finish the draft that I know is saved.

    I do the same. I like the Fediverse and want to help make it a nicer place, but I am too critical of the messages I think of sending. I often think of a message and then go "Nah that is pretty similar to what the other guy wrote, it won't add anything new". But maybe it makes sense just so you can see others have the same experience (other than looking at your upvotes) or maybe it makes sense because it will mean comments for bored people to read through. At least that is what I try to tell myself because otherwise I won't be writing many comments.

    I had always been told it was like...90/9/1. Ninety percent lurk, nine percent comment, and one percent post!

    i tend to only comment when i feel like i have something to add, and i only post after putting in far too much effort into perfecting what i made.

    i have ideas for shitposts down in writing. the first thing i posted was sort of shitposty, even. with the time it takes for me specifically to make a shitpost though, i figure i might as well create something more meaningful.

    and i hope that adds more value to the fediverse than if i posted as often as i could. some folks are better at that than i'll ever be, anyways.

    Hi, in the first group and for real, never had a healthier relationship with social media. It's just a much more conscious and mindful usage and I don't really know why. Probably because it's way less (read as nearly none) egocentric and corporate.
