..and do you think that you posting it has a positive, neutral or negative effect on the world?

By content I mean what ever you're posting online. The pictures you post on Instagram/Pixelfed or messages you're writing on Lemmy, YouTube comment section, Facebook and so on.

If you look back at what you have posted in the past year for example, do you consider it to be the kind of content that you would gladly consume if it was coming from someone else? If not, then why are you posting it in the first place?

I occasionally go through my old comments to see how things got received, see if I could improve my wording, things like that. General communications skill polishing. It's not consuming as much as critically reviewing, but whatever.

Since I'm adding engagement on lemmy, and I do put some effort in to be amusing or informative or whatever (usually anyway), yes I do feel like I am helping. If I was on reddit or something, not so much.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has ever done that! Haha
