So right, I remember years ago participating in so many different communities or forums online. Since then I’ve just been a lurker consuming content like everyone else without actually communicating or creating anything myself.
My first comment tonight I stated I feel like a kid in high school screwing around on the internet again.
I love that this network is smaller that anything we’ve been used to or exposed to in years, I actually feel the want to participate and to me that’s important.
Right, why participate if it's just going to be buried under the mountain of other content.
You'd be better off talking to a brick wall than commenting on reddit on anything but small subreddits and expecting a reply.
Feels good to be seen here, and like you're actually contributing.
