    I AM - Thank you for your service! :-D

    And now as thanks, a picture of a cat for no reason whatsoever - as is tradition!

    I usually delete over half the comments and posts I make because I keep thinking nobody gives a shit about what I have to say. I’m afraid some troll is going to pop out of nowhere and tell me to go kill myself. Reddit scarred me.

          oh, I didn’t know it worked with emojis 😅

          I just tought it was Voyager doing that because the whole comment was an emoji.

          Edit: Just remembered this also works 👍

          Combining everything:

          👍

    I comment a lot but seldom post. As stated a few times, I don’t feel I have much to contribute post-wise

      I get that too. It’s a flaw of my character, I guess, that stems from past experience on other social media platforms I’ve used throughout my life.

      But, I’ve been trying, but probably not as much as I could…

    I just browse things for fun, mostly. I rarely have anything important to add, so I rarely even comment.

    I did try making a few memes, but I don’t really have ideas for general memes. I only make memes for specific friends about some very specific thing they or I said or did, and those don’t really fit in here.

    the disparity between posters and subscribers is larger than expected.

    in the community i moderate, there are just 2 consistent posters (including myself) and about 3000 subs, of which a good 150 seem to be active in total. that’s 0.05 of the aggregate subscribers.

      Same in my community (FullMoviesOnYoutube). Really not sure why, but I really appreciate the few others who are sharing posts.

    Why post if it coukd get deleted by some faceless bureaucratic nerds who think people should and do read “the rules” before posting. What I’ve been doing lately is to write the comment to get it out of my sysyem, and then press the back button.

    Not lemmy’s fault, this is just what going to reddit does.

    I want a time machine to go back in time to teach the crowd in the coliseum the 7 nation army chant so I can hear it being chanted while 2 gladiators go at it.
