I love games, gamification and chat roleplaying, socializing with people, volunteering, different lists and difficult topics!
I come to think about ajph (arousal jumps per hour) 🤔
I’d just ignore such folks. Plus I have yet to meet those folks - even after 62 posts I have done!
I don’t go for Internet points only. That also fuels me to trying coming up with something of quality, but it’s also the good discussions and possibly providing something interesting to folks to read/look at and to make them even think about stuff that gets me going 😄 Kicking in some extra activity in these communities!
But the same can be achieved with comments - you’re right with that one.
Making a post can require more thinking and effort, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I have spent more effort on a comment than on making a post!
The feel and interaction is different with a post and a comment. A post can wake up all sorts of commenting and a post is “more visible” to people who sees it as they scroll away. Comments of course also provide activity within a post/community, may generally be less visible to more people (you have to click a post open to see comments) and they can also gain all the off-topic commentary on them - just like in a post.
Not saying that commenting is worse than creating a whole post. Both have their reasons to exist and their places to be used.
I love wasting spending lots of time on the computer.
I’m friends with Beeminder.
I started at one minute less per day. At the moment I get one day in the countdown when I’m off the machine for 165 minutes. I raise the value when I feel it - slowly and steadily.
Reminds me of one video. I recall his friends made a prank. The dude woke up from drinking too much in a hospital room where the nurse said that the had been comatose for many years.
To be clear, this wasn’t the case - it was just a prank.
…but I bet experiencing that would put some people to think.
I haven’t tried but -
I once asked what would be a real life equivalent of those small chores you find in video games that earn you a little gold.
Someone answered that driving people around.
Easy.
Poop flavored chocolate.
Chances are, it would be more healthy (unless deliberately using poop itself as an ingredient).
Depends also on the attitude, I think.
I haven’t met many people in this “they suck”-mold of yours. The contrary however…
“I want to train your child to become the ULTIMATE CONTENT CREATORRR”
What do you mean? Negative or constructive criticism? Negative votes?
Hardship is a part of life. That goes to criticism as well.
I am willing to take risks of bad feels for the sake of trying to make places more active. Luckily I’ve been doing much better than what I first anticipated!
No pain, no gain.
I think we should cherish commenting too.
Creating posts is not the only way of making engagement. Even though it’s better than having a community of 0 posts, I still would be sad to look at a community that has one new post daily but doens’t get any votes or comments.
Within time not getting engagement can become demoralizing to the content creator. Why bother if you don’t get anything in return? (Been there, felt that - and in many occasions.)

I think it depends how a post you create is doing. What the community you choose is, what is its activity, what kind is your post, what materials you use (text, images etc)…
To my knowledge (of one month), it’s easier to get any sort of engagement (being it likes or comments) from one cute or sad comic image than from sincere, deeper discussion of whatever topic.
We are fighting against people’s time. How should they use it?
And then again - we use these services for different purposes. Some of us jump in for a quick lolz off pictures, while others delve for hours in all sorts of peculiar discussions.
(I’m not so much of a content creator - at least when it comes to something else than text. But I try to do my part in all sorts of communities that interest me to kick some engagement around this place 💓
I’d like to see this thing taking off and getting at least some of the activity what Reddit gets)
I do assume that a (real, unlike places we come up with here) place which had no problems or was perfect could not exist.
Plus - in who’s point of view would it be perfect?
And what would have been an alternative purpose, if it wasn’t religion 🤔
I’d like to check out
Ooooh, I like this idea! I would also be curious - would be awesome to check this out!
I think that anyone who wants to contribute somehow in a positive way to their society, environment or country, should get enough money to have their basic needs fulfilled. Being it full-time or part-time work, volunteering or just helping out random people from time to time (pick trash alone somewhere and stuff).
I don’t approve ending people’s lives because they create harm to others. Of course it’s a whole different thing when you compare a feared dictator who hates humankind versus someone who spends all their time trolling people out of their minds in the Internet just because of the lulz. But I don’t know, what would be a good solution in these or any other cases.
Yup…no matter how good a tool is, if there are no users to it, it might be as good as it never existed (unless if someone takes ideas from said tool and implements them to a user service, growing their quality, which is still better than nothing). Sad but true.
Maybe different in America, but here in Finland I’ve never been asked to pay myself so I could volunteer. And I’ve been in few different places. And I also haven’t needed to provide any kind of CV to do volunteering (nobody has asked for such information).
Sometimes I’m offered free food, free products, free fun time and even one-time payments (they pay me - which I still find strange since I haven’t gotten used to it!).
And sometimes a meme doesn’t age. Sometimes, old sayings can still work wonders in new situations. Sometimes even better than what a new one would.
I don’t think old needs to be reinnovated just because it’s old. I enjoy many old things!
I think I’m gonna disagree with the fandom dying thing.
From a system’s perspective - if it exist for a reason, for someone to use it, and then they stop using it and go away, leaving it alone without any use, I’d see that system being abandoned, lost, or dead.
Then again - someone can come back to it and turn it “alive” or active again!
