MODERATORS
Wikipedia is a different concept though.
This is social media. Wiki is information. I come here to share thoughts, but I only go to wiki to find data.
Almost everyone on social media posts random bullshit. That's why there are tons and tons of comments on every post.
Things like reddit and Lemmy probably have at least 50% participation from their daily active users.
This rule precedes Wikipedia and originally applies to you things like BBS boards and the like.
I believe it about Reddit. Most people show up and browse /r/all. That's why spez freaked out about big subreddits like pics and ELI5 going NSFW. Those are the biggest eyeball magnets, regularly appearing on the main site.
Some users learn that they can subscribe to specific content and make accounts only for that purpose. A few actually make the effort to submit posts and comments.
