1932
I would be really curious if this was the case prior to the advent of smartphones. Was the ratio the same on early USENET or BBS? It’s so much easier to lurk than participate from a smartphone keyboard.

The only 1% I will ever be a part of 😅
I'm a lurker. Sometimes a participator. Rarely a creator.
Mostly a creator, back when I used Twitter and Facebook I used it as a write only medium. On the fediverse I try to read some stuff also and participate by commenting and voting.
Depends on the community. I do comment more than I post.
Reddit has spoiled me😭
A jack of all trades, but master of none
I've always been a lurker on Reddit. But with Lemmy I'm trying to be as active as I can, with both posts and comments
Do cat & beer pics = "creator"? That's me.
I don't think I have anything of value to post but I try to comment at least.
I don't think I'll ever create content, but I'm happy to try and comment on the stuff you guys create. Thats probably the most I'm capable of.
Surely a participator. I try to make usefula nd interesting comments. I will post when I have something worth saying/doing.
But, I'm not making memes or whatever constantly.
I would like to put together a bit for a sub, but I haven't made the time yet.
I was a lurker/participator on reddit but am more active on Lemmy -- I created community [email protected]
On Reddit I just made a few comments and posts, mostly a lurker.
Here it's completely different, I have my own magazine, where I put the effort of making a post daily, and it actually feels better than lurking.
I was a lurker on Reddit unless I had a question in a technical forum. Here, I post on lemmy/kbin because the communities are smaller and welcoming.
I'm finally part of the 1%!
Mostly lurker, I sometimes comment but social anxiety is a thing even on the internet for me.
And the .1% who create good content get 99% of the shit/harassment form the lurkers and the .9% who create shitty content.
I‘m a participator I guess, I tend to comment random thoughts. I don‘t think I do it much more on here than on Reddit, the excitement of a new thing has worn off and now it feels about the same level of engagement.
