MODERATORS
 

a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

Finally, I'm a one percenter.

I am a big part a lurker, but I also create content sometimes

Well, I've never posted (yet), but commented a few times. More than on reddit, certainly! But overall, I do think that rule is going to hold. It creeps up all over the place. At this stage, I think it is just human nature at work and, as such, almost inevitable.

I hardly ever posted on Reddit but I would comment about as much as here. I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world, so I'm posting a bit more.on the kbin.social NYC magazine (aka community). If you like or are interested in NYC, please visit and poat/comment!

It's Zipf's law, there's no reason to think Lemmy follows a different distribution.

Mostly a creator, back when I used Twitter and Facebook I used it as a write only medium. On the fediverse I try to read some stuff also and participate by commenting and voting.

OK, I won't lie, I hear this all the time but I'm not convinced it's true.

Are there any real statistics on it which account for bit accounts? Like, if reddit claimed that 99% of its users don't make content, my immediate thought would be "how many users are real people and how many are bots?"

Part of the reason is internet commentators are so mean to each other, and many of us users don’t want to be judged by someone? (Although extreme echo chamber is also a bad thing)

[–] vreraan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

A bit like free-to-plays, where only 1% of players spend money.

[–] Gentoo1337@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do comments count as content? If not, I think that percentage is a bit flawed, because I've read cool discussions here

[–] StableSystem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

1% content (posts), 9% comments, and 90% lurkers is how it's broken out

[–] UberXY@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

And only 1% of the 1% contribute meaningful content.

[–] Rhabuko@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

The only 1% I will ever be a part of 😅

[–] HereToLurk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1% rule: most people lurk, do you??

Me: 😶‍🌫️

first day here, and it's too early to predict in which direction this will take off. i am hoping to create and post content around day-to-day happenings.

[–] Deemo@bookwormstory.social 3 points 1 year ago

Depends on the community. I do comment more than I post.

[–] keenkeeper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm a lurker. Sometimes a participator. Rarely a creator.

[–] EmperorHenry@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What's the percent that comments?
