By browsing the current top of the day, besides the usual posts in Programmer Humor and the tech communities, you can notice a few posts in [email protected] by @[email protected]

I find it interesting how the famous 90-9-1 (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/participation-inequality/) is at work here, and that for everything you post, you might get hundreds of upvotes almost immediately.

That’s all for now, not really ground-breaking thoughts, but I thought it might be worth sharing.

Take care

    But for what, really? There’s no incentive to be a karma whore here (a good thing), right? It feels good to see the upvotes, but only because I’m glad I posted something the community likes/agrees with as much as I do. I never post because I think the community would eat it up like candy. The points don’t really carry beyond that specific post, do they?

    1% of users participate a lot and account for most contributions: it can seem as if they don’t have lives because they often post just minutes after whatever event they’re commenting on occurs
