People who post and comment hundreds of times on Lemmy, what is your job/occupation?
I've noticed some usernames around Lemmy in almost all communities I follow that create several new posts daily and comment in almost all topics. I'm very curious, how do you have so much time on your hands?
This question's been eating at me for some time, but I didn't want to directly ask in any of the threads or message the users because I don't to single anyone out, I'm just very curious. <3
I'm a spy for Facebook and or the Russian/US government. Maybe something to do with China on the side too, not sure. In my free time I shill BP products to the children in my neighbourhood and have a passive income clubbing seals during my winter break. Due to a debilitating sense of laziness, I invite food delivery workers into my home and have my way with them in lieu of payment. At night I climb unto my roof to look at the star(s) whilst perching over the street and mutter to any night joggers about being vengeance incarnate. My interests include anime, dog-walking, and folding paper cranes.
Unemployed. I was a software dev, but it has been hard for me to get a job for last 1.5 years. It sucks. Currently, working to set up a small horticulture farm.
apprentice bench jeweler, but during the day all i really do is wait on customers so i end up with WAY too much free time.
i get to make all sorts of cool shit tho!
That's perfect, that's where I communicate to people what the voices are telling me! I expect they'll just start showering me with money when I begin the ritual ejaculation.
I've averaged 4-5 comments a day since I made my account. Probably not who you're asking about but I'll bite.
I'm a SysAdmin/Systems Engineer- My work tends to be feast or famine in terms of how busy things get, and there's often times where I just have to "babysit" a long running process or script. Also times where I just need to clear my head so I can approach a problem a different way.
Different job, but same scenario. I hook things up to a machine, run it an hour, swap the next units in, repeat until done. Sometimes there's other stuff to do, but the basic job is mostly waiting.
I don't have a title per se, but I can say that I work with information security and vast amounts of data. I have ADHD so doing "mindless" things like quipping on Lemmy, sudoku and word search puzzles helps me think. It is also why I often comment with images. So I might be commenting or shitposting, but in the back of my head I am thinking about how to restructure a query so that it will return in seconds rather than minutes.
EDIT: It is also why most comments are edited. I comment now and return to spell/grammar check later (if at all).
The question has been eating at you for some time, not since some time.
Also, I've wondered the exact same thing. I never recalled seeing such prolific cross community posters on reddit, but here it seems they're all over the place.
hundreds overall? You say several per day. I easily do that. Thats not even a lot. Now if you mean hundreds per day then woa. Anyway I am currently unemployed. EDITED - ok posts several a day and comments on everything. That is a lot. I read it wrong initially.
I am far from a power user but I definitely am on here more than I should be. I'm disabled and can't work for the time being. not getting any government benefits because they're fucking assholes tho.
I'm a software developer and there are many times I have to wait for something (a program execution to finish, clarification about a task, etc.) and thus have time to open tabs for lemmy and other non-work-related websites.
I might not meet your criteria though because I don't usually create "several new posts daily" nor do I comment anywhere near on all threads I read (because I don't comment where I don't feel I have anything useful to add).
