    Moving to Lemmy made me realize how much time I wasted lurking on Reddit. I didn’t bother to participate because someone would have already said what I thought. Sometimes I could even read one thread for days because there was just so much to read.

    But I don’t know if it’s good or bad if there are so many comments. Maybe it’s good if you learn something useful but I don’t think it’s that useful to read for days about random subject you don’t need. At least it’s a some form of entertainment. I think I just read less now that I’m on Lemmy.

      Weirdly I’ve somehow adjusted for inflation. On reddit I wouldn’t bother commenting if there were more than 1000 comments, here I don’t bother if there are already 100.

        Quality vs quantity.

        10 comments here likely means 10 people have unique thoughts. 1000 comments usually means memes and bots.

        I used to hate reddit in springtime when the kids got out from school. Now it’s always springtime.
