I think a lot of the refugees from Reddit are lurkers.

[-] buzziebee@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago

I heard it's something like 90% of people lurk, 10% of people comment, 1% of people post. So you need a pretty substantial population just to have enough posts and comments for the lurkers to still hang around.

It's also why it was particularly dumb of Reddit to piss off their 1% and 10%.

Personal experience bets gen x.

[-] nl4real@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Well, this is awkward, I'm in my 20's.

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

46 years old. I'll take the over for a pack of garbage pail kids.

Can confirm. I don't talk much lol.

When I was a kid in the 70s, a lurker was a turd that had failed to flush away properly. As in : "Dad left a big beefy lurker in the toilet again." How language changes.

I think it still means that too

It's a hard habit to break

[-] ralakus@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

It's just a bad habit for me really. I'm so used to reddit immediately slaughtering anyone who doesn't conform with the hivemind even though Lemmy isn't like that

[-] Pr0v3n@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Yep, I’m part of the problem. Was super active on Reddit, dumped them, then just don’t really have the energy of fucks anymore to create content or comment really; it’s a shame…

[-] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It’s ok. You go when you’re ready!

[-] GregorTacTac@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago
