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?

    The question seems to imply that this ratio is problematic, but it is in fact fine.

    There this sense now that “being a creator” has intrinsic value, but this value is an artifact of platforms that exploit its users creations. So much so that we now have an immense amount of low quality fast food grade, in fact toxic, content. Content pollution.

    So, whatever the ratio is. If you want to post post, if you want to comment comment, if you want to lurk lurk.

    As long as we are all enjoying the experience, who cares?

      Fair, but for lemmy to truly take off, people need to be actively posting and commenting. If people don’t have interest in that, lurkers won’t come.

        Right. It needs to work well for people who like posting and commenting.

      I will post as I find communities that align with my interests. I comment where I feel I have something to say. I will lurk elsewhere.
