And I also replied to this comment so that there would be engagement.

To create further engagement, as well as begin participating, I am writing my first comment on Lemmy.

To further encourage engagement I am replying to this comment by saying: beans

I'm the comment that parrots the above comments right before the 'load more comments..' link.

I just realized there were different colors. How deep does this rabbit hole go?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I guess only three colors deep...

Should we get engagement rings?

It is good. Be engaged!

Just wanna remind folks that when Steve Huffman founded reddit it was just him and a couple friends with dozens of alt accounts. The first decade of Reddit’s life it was just ripping content from Digg and 4chan to rehost.

Lemmy will grow, and probably in a very similar way.

Dude all I see with this meme is Jack Ryan. Reminds me I need to continue watching the 4th season.

Legit though, it needs to be quality content.

There's no point to it, if content churn just turns lemmy into the worst parts of reddit.

If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I agree with you, but how do you know it's quality before posting it?

I created this meme to create better content

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait.. should I have created a new post?

Should I have added more beans?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe you should have BOTH commented AND created a new post!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are comments content? I'm a prolific commenter, not much of a main poster. I mean... I get my shit from here (previously Reddit), because browsing the rest of the internet fuckin' sucks now. I don't wanna repost stuff, especially at this point in time for the service.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Same, I thought about posting some memes/comics I've saved over the last year or so, but then I realized 95% of them likely came from some reddit post at some point. And just reposting those here without remembering where it came from felt bad, so I didn't. But then I have nothing to post. Ahh!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

If all the memes are the same are they different?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Quality over quantity 😎

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Fuck that. "Content" is what social media CEOs want. It's the garbage you shovel in front of eyeballs so you can sell those eyeballs to advertisers.

Tell a story. Make something that's fun. Make me feel something. Don't create "content". You aren't a "content creator". You're a person. Make something interesting to other people. Don't be a CEO's fucking content monkey.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Sir this is a Wendy's

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Exactly. Calling a discussion "content" is like calling music a "product". It completely ignores what makes it interesting and instead focuses on how it can bring money in someone else's pockets.
