Why does up/downvoting not count as active? Doesn’t make sense.

Plot twist: All of the "bot accounts" were actually a huge influx of Reddit users who were lurking. By removing the accounts / defederating with their instances, we've sent them all back to Reddit, ensuring Reddit can pull through the mass exodus.

About 15 years ago many of us left Digg and migrated to Reddit because at that time it became kind of what Reddit is right now without even all the API shit going on.

I have been hoping for something to replace Reddit for a few years now but it seems like every possible alternative would instantly become populated by the alt-right, people who got evinced from other platforms, instead of free software loving geeks and their relatives.

Reddit actually gave us the kick in the butt that we needed to start anew and make something better. I wanted to fight, I made the subs I managed private and then NSFW but I realize it is not worth spending the energy.

We are the people who made Reddit great but there is no point in trying to keep it this ways, it isn't even great anymore anyway. Let's not be slaves to a company that only cares about profit and acts as if we need them while the truth is that they need us.

Trying to make Reddit better, at this point, is like volunteering for Microsoft instead of contributing to open-source projects with the hope that they will become less oriented toward profits.

This is already a place we can call our own, all we have to do is to furnish it and make it a nice place to be for those who understand why it is worthwhile to do so. It is not the actual owners of Reddit that made it great, quite the contrary even, they keep on making it worst. It is us, the users who made it great and we can do the same here.

I am pretty sure Aaron Swartz himself would tell us to leave the site he created if he could communicate from his grave. There is no point in wasting energy for a company that wants to sell us NFTs, virtual gifts and rewards. I never bought any of this shit anyway but I am going to make Lemmy a donation right now!

But what if I'm an introvert and like to lurk? Introverts unite! Separately! And in different places!

Lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users

You gotta post or comment!

Upvoting doesn't count as activity?

But it's scary

[-] joat_mon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

But if I comment then I'll break my 9 year record of being a lurker on social media!

[-] Ulysses182@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How is upvoting/downvoting not considered being active? :/

[-] Bransonb3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is my point exactly

[-] monkeytennis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, for a fair comparison the standard definition of "active user" is just viewing posts. Not sure why Lemmy sets the bar so high. Maybe they don't care about vanity stats - besides mild curiosity, I couldn't care less.

Posting or commenting seems more like "contributing users" and posts like this just encourage unhelpful noise.

Gotta keep that ball rollin.

[-] gatelike@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

am I doing this right? can everyone hear me?

[-] Mateja23@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, I've had a Reddit account for 13-14 years, maybe even longer, as I was a lurker who bookmarked different subreddits, prior to making an account. In those years, I have commented maybe 5 times in total. So you dont get to tell me what to do, and I certainly won't be commenting on this post.
