It's ok to be a lurker. Lurkers, I'm happy you're here with us.
I used to contribute, but I've mostly stopped even visiting Lemmy because of all the propaganda from places like Lemmy.ml. Totally killed my excitement for it.
Half the time I post a comment trying to contribute in some way but get downvotes so I'm scared to post any comments.
Additionally, I never post news articles I see because if the content of the news is bad (eg a news article about something bad google is doing), Ive seen others and myself get downvotes
Counterpoint: By posting things that get downvoted, you still contributed and added to the discussion by exposing people to a viewpoint divergent from the ones they perceive normaly.
Or your contributions are just shit takes. That could be the case too. /s
Hey I even upvote sometimes!
Doing my best not to lurk
.
I have been getting more stoned in the past few days, in the hopes to provide more absolutely terrible jokes, however I went too far and binged a bunch of Mr. Rogers videos on YouTube with dabs.
Have you guys seen this man?! Someone this kind actually existed! Like man. Everyone needs to see Mr. Rogers stuff I think, it's like, proper positive and stuff.
if everyone was as kind as that man, I think there would almost be no suffering in the world
You can't tell me what to do! I was told that I do not need to do what other people say I need to do! Which I guess means that I do need to do what other people say that I need to do! But then that means that I do not need to do what other people say I need to do! Do do people need I do need people tell do me need!
But it is what I do!

One quarter of this user's comment history is them explicitly declining to stop lurking lmao
ahoy matey
Personal welcome to anyone this post encouraged to sign up. I appreciate you.
I’m making sure I’m doing my part by posting every dumb thought I have in the comments.
I'm an introvert, leave me alone.
Goddamit squirrel I'm trying, ive got years of lurker conditioning to break.
Doing my part :) used to be a pathological lurker and Lemmy made me regular commenter and poster :)
If you upvote and downvote in a genuine way, you’re improving the lemmy experience imo by lurking.
