I’ll just leave the question at that, because I can’t even speculate.

    I want there to be women’s sports content on the threadiverse, so I put it there. I’m a bit “if you build it, they will come” about it.

    How does for shits and giggles sound to you?

    Sometimes I post nothing in a long time and just lurk, other days I upload funny pictures.

    I have the same question for all the accounts who post a lot of the most stupid questions (usually in AskLemmy), seldom comment, and delete their posts if the votes become negative. Are they confused teenagers, bots, what the fuck are they?

    Like that one a few minutes ago: nightops@nord.pub wondered whether an AI program was “literally” the same as a person before their death.

    WHY?

    We’re trying to build up the fediverse so more people are interested in participating.

    I want see more local news, feminism, and alternative/punk music. Be the change you want to see and all that.

    If you’re talking about the accounts that just spam articles for a couple months and disappear…

    There’s a single person who’s been doing it at least since the reddit migration 3 years ago, but I feel like it was already a thing before that.

    I have no idea what the original ban was for, but all those accounts eventually get banned for being an alt of that account.

    Afterwards they just make a dozen new accounts and keep doing it.

    It’s super weird, and I almost asked this morning actually when I saw a batch had been banned and new ones were already up.

    But I know the person wouldn’t answer.

    Edit:

    That batch from 15 hours ago for reference

      they feel like they are making the world a better place by doing so

      God forbid people post about topics they want to talk about with others.

    A lot of people are making comments like “to boost Lemmy’s popularity/value”, but I wonder if making a lot of posts with relatively few comments is counterproductive?

    Like, if I see a community where the top 20 posts have no comments, I’m reluctant to post or comment there because it doesn’t seem to have an engaged community. A community where the top posts all have long comment threads seems more inviting, even if the top posts go back two weeks instead of two hours.

      I wonder if making a lot of posts with relatively few comments is counterproductive?

      I think the bot accounts that repost everything from a subreddit or the like are definitely counterproductive and don’t encourage participation. It’s like walking into a room of robots beeping at each other. They’re probably my biggest pet peeve here.

      This is also why I end up posting in communities that aren’t necessarily hosted on my own instance. They’re more populated and that encourages more participation.

    I spent over 15 years on reddit and got over one million karma through shit-commenting. I’m still chasing that juicy karma, even if it doesn’t exist.

      Same, I had just topped 1 million when I was banned. Mostly comment karma, too.

      I post here more than I did there, just when I think of something, but some people post 20, 30 times a day, and without karma or some potential way to sell the account or however that worked on Reddit, I wondered why.

    I’m guessing that you’re thinking of sanitation, since there was some discussion I recently saw about him.

    I don’t post all that much, but I comment a fair bit, so I could answer regarding that. For that, I enjoy discussing stuff on forums.

    As a secondary factor, I also think that that’s kinda what the Threadiverse is short of, people out discussing different things. As of 2026, Reddit’s got a whole lot more users talking about a whole lot more stuff, which gives it a ton of niche topic coverage and valuable information. That’s really what makes Reddit valuable; that’s why people do site:reddit.com searches on Web search engines and such, not because it has Reddit Gold or because people are especially taken with the recommendation algorithm or anything like that.

      Yeah, I’ve noticed his name. And butterfly lady, or whatever. And, the CM2000 one. I just recognize them when I see them.

      Exactly, the ones who seem to post non-stop, across multiple comms. Sometimes I think I’m on here too much, but then I imagine the time they’re spending.

      They seem to post in earnest and engage in the comments sometimes. I guess they just do it for fun.

      Yeah as a frequent commenter it’s basically that it’s the form of content I feel suited to giving. I’m awful at thinking of things to post, but discussing things, I’ll spend all day discussing things if I let myself. And I appreciate seeing interesting comments, so hopefully when I comment others might feel interested in commenting more too.
