I just saw a comment on Hexbear alleging that there are very few Lurkers. I'm a lurker! I exist! I lurk because I forgot the password to my day 1 account and now am ashamed. We exist!

    1% are posters. 9% are commenters. 90% are lurkers. This is true of every single online community that has ever existed and will remain true forever. It is just some weird thing about the way humans engage with communities on the internet. The conditions produce this ratio over and over and over again.

    This is as true on Hexbear as it is everywhere else.

      The real numbers would be fun to see.

      At the end of the day, the 1 percent may have enormousposting power. But they are just the 1 percent. When the 99 percent stand together, we can transform Hexbear.
