But if I comment then I’ll break my 9 year record of being a lurker on social media!
It was good while it lasted…
I bet you $20 I can get you commenting by the end of the day!
Dude! He’s been training for 9 years, no way are you gonna win that bet!
Can’t we just upvote?
I wanna give you a meaningless gold. Here, take it 🪙
Nope—upvoting doesn’t add to the user count for whatever reason. Deleted comments do though!
I’ve already posted more here than my last 4 years on Reddit.
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.
Nah lol, I’m an admin and could see all the email addresses they were using. Fake af
tbf disposable email services are a thing
But my email is a Fastmail masked email, it’s randomly generated l, so it might look fake as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯
yeah, no
i was in the channels when these were occurring, the people doing it spent no time trying to make the activity look organic in any way.
there are new admins running instances but a lot of us have been doing this (it sysadmin) for a long time for bigger fish.
Don’t care.
You’re not my dad!
Sure, I guess I’m active, but I will go back to lurking

Lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users
You gotta post or comment!

But, I’m a lurker.
FUCK SPEZ
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.
I guess I probably should start commenting. Just been lurking and trying to find my communities.
I didn’t know that, how often does a user have to comment/post to be “active”? Are we only active the days we do it?
