Yeah honestly there’s no point adding meaningless chatter either. I like the comment sections here because it feels like people have let their words settle in their minds before they started mashing the keyboard.

I upvote a lot, but I don’t always comment as much as I should. I often find that I may or may not have anything particularly new to add to the comments.

I think I’m still a little concerned about account security especially in these scary US fascist times. Trying to take the safest course of action but I am still burnt over by reddit and its hard to wipe your accounts there too now…

I appreciate your concern for the quality of your contributions, and I think this place has a higher proportion of that type of user than just about any other platform.
This place is small and it’s generally friendly and inclusive. Most comments won’t get any replies, but the ones that do will generally be constructive. The users here are into the whole idea of the social contract and that we can have something nice if we are just excellent to one another.
I repeatedly say “generally” because this is an open platform and assholes are allowed to join. The assholes can even have their own instance dedicated to asshole topics! But fortunately the instances and communities are generally moderated by actual decent humans who are much like the users!
So let that knowledge help you comment more, not less! Even if you get no comments and like 5 upvotes, it actually feels like something of value even if it’s just a nod from a few decent people.

Don’t worry about it, in places like Instagram and YouTube - even twitter and R*ddit - people are leaving comments like “bro said [thing previous commenter said]”
And that’s fine! Let’s be social and authentic and just happy that there aren’t bots here
