I wonder what the ratio of active users to lurkers are. There have definitely been times when I’ve been here but haven’t commented for 2 weeks.
EDIT: ok so I did some tangential math. If we have ~1375 active users out of 20,000 accounts, then ~7% of the site actively produces content. In reality, the % is even higher if you factor in alts/dead accounts, but I don’t know if that’s possible :shrug-outta-hecks:. It also can get lower if you factor in the density of posting (I post once and someone else posts 100 times, so technically we’re both “active” but the site depends much more on this smaller minority of super posters.) Overall though, if we look at the 1% rule, which I admittedly don’t know the validity of, then Hexbear :hexbear-retro: is actually overachieving!

When do you comment? Is it cause it is something pertaining to your day life?

I have a comfortable 2 year lurk period here.

We're closing in on it though.

Yeah, I dunno.
if posting is praxis, then call me an armchair revolutionary :bordiga-despair:
Same
I guess we need to post more comrade.
:fidel-salute-big:
I'm doing long shifts working in the posting mines
2 weeks? Consider 2 months. I feel like I hardly have something worthwhile to contribute.
I rarely have anything worthwhile to contribute but I comment anyway cuz I like notifications :blob-no-thoughts:
have another notification comrade
Comment replies are my love language :heart-sickle:
digital dopamine hit go brrrrr
🥴
yeah that's me. I check every other day or so but don't post too often
I likely only count as active less than 20% of the time. I wonder how many people are similar
It me
