But I like being a lurker 😟
Too late, lurkers don’t comment!
You can’t tell me what to do!
I’m descriptive, not prescriptive!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
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!
I don’t think making feud posts is contributing.
lurks lurkishly
lurking intensifies
Walking lurkishly down the stairs
HELLO NOT LURKING WE JUST HAVE NOTHING USEFUL TO CONTRIBUTE THANKS
I DON’T LIKE POSTING MUCH BECAUSE I AM TRASH
You both should come join us in shitposting. One of us!
HI INFORMATIVE AND INSIGHTFUL RESPONSE
cute, gecko? lizard? what species?
Clearly a Lurch (outdated German term for amphibians).
Great word! Great insult also.
Looks like a fire salamander to me. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_salamander

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 just wanted to let you know there is an option in your settings so you don’t see upvotes or downvotes.
Lemmy (AFAIK) doesn’t even show you your total upvotes (karma… whatever it’s called) by default either. None of these imaginary points fucking matter.
So why don’t you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.
I know I have.
(Lemmy is rad as fuck)
I absolutely understand that regarding political/news communities, I bet your experience is very different in entertainment/hobbies communities
profile karma doesnt matter here unless you use mbin or piefed, I think even then its only if you have an account there? (not sure about that one) Its not like reddit where more karma boosts posts/comments
Beehaw.org has disabled the down vote button/doesn’t federate down votes. So you could try posting over there, it’s pretty great
Ok then, have this comment.
🔫 Give me another one right now
You have no power over me.
Thank you for your cooperation, I’ll put the water gun away now.
They will stay dry for another day!
Yea that’s definitely me
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.
Sorting by new helps, so you don’t feel like you’re too late to be heard if you comment. Making posts, now that’s extra tough.
Much better than screaming into the void of the same stupid jokes and bots on reddit though right?
Indeedly doodly
Hey I even upvote sometimes!
Talking to people is scary. :(
But Lurkers are great at defending from enemy infantry in StarCraft.
I’m glad someone else thinks of the zerg when lurkers are discussed.
