Half the time I post a comment trying to contribute in some way but get downvotes so I'm scared to post any comments.
Additionally, I never post news articles I see because if the content of the news is bad (eg a news article about something bad google is doing), Ive seen others and myself get downvotes
I just wanted to let you know there is an option in your settings so you don't see upvotes or downvotes.
Lemmy (AFAIK) doesn't even show you your total upvotes (karma... whatever it's called) by default either. None of these imaginary points fucking matter.
So why don't you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.
I know I have.
(Lemmy is rad as fuck)
Counterpoint: By posting things that get downvoted, you still contributed and added to the discussion by exposing people to a viewpoint divergent from the ones they perceive normaly.
Or your contributions are just shit takes. That could be the case too. /s
Hey I even upvote sometimes!
Doing my best not to lurk
I have been getting more stoned in the past few days, in the hopes to provide more absolutely terrible jokes, however I went too far and binged a bunch of Mr. Rogers videos on YouTube with dabs.
Have you guys seen this man?! Someone this kind actually existed! Like man. Everyone needs to see Mr. Rogers stuff I think, it's like, proper positive and stuff.
if everyone was as kind as that man, I think there would almost be no suffering in the world
No

One quarter of this user's comment history is them explicitly declining to stop lurking lmao
You can't tell me what to do! I was told that I do not need to do what other people say I need to do! Which I guess means that I do need to do what other people say that I need to do! But then that means that I do not need to do what other people say I need to do! Do do people need I do need people tell do me need!
ahoy matey
Personal welcome to anyone this post encouraged to sign up. I appreciate you.

I'm an introvert, leave me alone.
I used to contribute, but I've mostly stopped even visiting Lemmy because of all the propaganda from places like Lemmy.ml. Totally killed my excitement for it.
Goddamit squirrel I'm trying, ive got years of lurker conditioning to break.
But it is what I do!
I’m making sure I’m doing my part by posting every dumb thought I have in the comments.
Doing my part :) used to be a pathological lurker and Lemmy made me regular commenter and poster :)
If you upvote and downvote in a genuine way, you’re improving the lemmy experience imo by lurking.
