a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

I lead a mostly boring life. And the interesting parts would invade more privacy more than I care to expose. I'd love to post content. But I know better than to let too much of myself out. I already expose too much as is, but it can be worse. And nothing good comes from that.

Lol same, I don't have any AITA/relationship advice/TIFU stories ready to go. I don't make enough waves to post to most things. I was actually trying to think of questions for asklemmy because it's all a bit dead but I don't want to know anything! XD

Then ask about that! “How do I cultivate a better sense of curiosity?” or even “Ask Lemmy, what should I ask?”

quite a meta way of asking a question don't you think?

can you think of a better way of addressing the situation?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

"Ask Lemmy, is it ok to ask about what kind of questions I should ask? Sorry if this question breaks any rules or is too political."

Nothing wrong with a "boring" life either. If anything, a "boring" life is probably a good thing lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yup, boring lives are a goal to strive for in our world. That means financial stability with not many serious issues going on.

Goddamn I want my life to be as boring as possible.

Sometimes I think about posting pictures of our cats in a cat subreddit, but that's too much for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That was about the extent for me. Made one post on a less common cat sub. Got more attention than I anticipated and never posted again. Lol

It’s ok to have a boring life, I think it’s worth examining why that is felt to be as issue. we’ve been so conditioned by social media to project otherwise

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

To be fair, I don't necessarily feel poorly about it being a boring life. I just don't feel that it would be enough interest to others to share. And then the private side of me refuses to as well. Lol
