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

Lurkmore who?

[–] EdibleFriend 3 points 7 months ago

Lurkmore balls.

[–] buzziebee 50 points 7 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%.

You really gonna call me out like that, homeslice?

[–] somethingsnappy 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (3 children)

[–] nl4real 3 points 7 months ago

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

Personal experience bets gen x.

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] psud 4 points 7 months ago

I think it still means that too

[–] Redecco 6 points 7 months ago

It's a hard habit to break

[–] ralakus 5 points 7 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 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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 2 points 7 months ago

It’s ok. You go when you’re ready!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

You just described me.
