But if I comment then I’ll break my 9 year record of being a lurker on social media!
It was good while it lasted…
I bet you $20 I can get you commenting by the end of the day!
Dude! He’s been training for 9 years, no way are you gonna win that bet!
Can’t we just upvote?
I wanna give you a meaningless gold. Here, take it 🪙
Nope—upvoting doesn’t add to the user count for whatever reason. Deleted comments do though!
But, I’m a lurker.
You’re not my dad!
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.
Nah lol, I’m an admin and could see all the email addresses they were using. Fake af
tbf disposable email services are a thing
But my email is a Fastmail masked email, it’s randomly generated l, so it might look fake as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Well that’s what I get for making my email address chuqid71bdu6@hotmail.com
Lmao yeah that pretty much looks like what they were using.
But the way I took care of it was just deleting users who hadn’t completed their email verification within one hour. The bots haven’t actually done email verification YET

Lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users
You gotta post or comment!

This is awesome! You are awesome!
good human
I guess I probably should start commenting. Just been lurking and trying to find my communities.
I didn’t know that, how often does a user have to comment/post to be “active”? Are we only active the days we do it?
But it’s scary
And now thank you for your contribution!
I’m scurred
I’ve already posted more here than my last 4 years on Reddit.
This is not a strictly commercial network. Do we really need useless comments or posts just to increase some stats numbers? I’d think about quality contents instead.
Sorry I’ll try harder!
I just feel like I don’t have anything of value to add most of the time. I just enjoy lurking.
Voting on posts doesn’t count as engagement?
