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 mostly post because i get feedback on the stuff that i post about. so i learn something new too.

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.

That batch from 15 hours ago for reference

I’m the one who makes all the posts on Lemmy. Sorry you had to find out this way.

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.

1. Bots.

2. Terminally online and need to get a job, or at least a hobby.

3. Stuck at computer job all day and posting while on phone calls is pretty easy (my situation).

because due to circumstance I am stuck where I am, and I can either stare at the wall all day doing nothing between tasks, or I can bullshit with other people on a webforum.
