It’s so weird how Lemmy feels like old reddit and that was when I was more active but as reddit grew I began to lurk more except in four different communities. It’s still hard to not lurk here. I frequently will type a comment or make a post and delete it, haha. Anybody else experiencing this?
Yeah but you just gotta do it. Post that comment or post. We gotta build this community for us. I have a tendency to not be as social able on social media vs IRL. Mainly because I’ll second guess myself. But we gotta keep this place alive
I constantly do the ‘type it out and delete’ move, both on Reddit and slightly getting there here. I’m just an anxious sort who’s thinking ‘surely no one wants to read this’ ¯\(ツ)/¯
Or that they’ll vehemently reject what you say instead of helpfully explaining their perspective and why you might be wrong. That’s always fun.
I’d never delete a post after submitting it, but I do find myself not finishing a comment when I feel it’s not worth the effort. I have been trying to get more people to post in my community so I don’t have to, though 😅
Yeah, I have significant lurker tendencies. It will take me a while to break out of the habit I think
Just found this community but haven’t seen much as of the moment to comment to.
Yes keep deleting before I post. Happens quite a lot actually
Yeah, exactl… <backspace><backspace><backspace> closes tab
I never understood lurking. How can you just sit back and observe without ever engaging? Do you have no thoughts? Are you embarrassed? Lazy? We will never know because once the lurkers answer, they are no longer lurking. 😌
