#lurking — Public Fediverse posts

I'm interested in the psychology of lurking in online spaces. I'm a lurker. Always have been. I mean, check my post history - I'm here all the time, but rarely contribute within the communities I value.

I don't behave like this IRL. I'm sociable, amiable, happy to engage with people, confident that my voice has value in social contexts. (A privilege I don't take for granted.)

I think maybe I'm confident of my voice online. But just don't... use it. I don't know why.

Dear Friends of scatter brains,

- No not zombie killing, honestly
- Not necessarily people who are everywhere all at once
- We are talking multiple #impacts from #different directions

Now then,
That is how Mastodon can work in our favour. We are not being directed along a line of #thinking by the usual culprits But
Finding our own direction and choices.
It is why #lurking, #following and #boosting will define what we experience and we are the 'masters of our own interests'.

I like to be aware of the many kinds of #kindness. The #experiences of people I would never meet but rarely. I like a #diversity. A mixed tableaux. Weaving backwards and forwards through lives lived at #different times and in #alternative ways.

A quotation from James Howell

He that gropes in the dark, finds that which he would not.

James Howell (c. 1594–1666) Welsh historian and writer
Paroimiographia [Παροιμιογραφία]: Proverbs, or, Old Sayed Sawes & Adages, “English Proverbs” (1659)
[compiler]
