But if I comment then I’ll break my 9 year record of being a lurker on social media!

Can’t we just upvote?

Plot twist: All of the “bot accounts” were actually a huge influx of Reddit users who were lurking. By removing the accounts / defederating with their instances, we’ve sent them all back to Reddit, ensuring Reddit can pull through the mass exodus.

FUCK SPEZ

But, I’m a lurker.

Don’t care.

You’re not my dad!

Sure, I guess I’m active, but I will go back to lurking

I’ve already posted more here than my last 4 years on Reddit.

Lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users

You gotta post or comment!

That sounds kinda self-sabotaging but ok. I shall comment!

This is not a strictly commercial network. Do we really need useless comments or posts just to increase some stats numbers? I’d think about quality contents instead.
