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

    Homeless, I just spend all day at the public library. Where do we go to to trade in all the upvotes for cash?

        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.

      I have a similar job, but I have been in the unfortunate position to be swamped with work for the past month or so.

      I have had one task that needed babysitting in the past 3 weeks, and I was so busy that I was jumping between tasks at that point.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

      That sounds like an awesome gig for 99% of the time and an absolute bitch and a half the 1% of the time you’re needed.

        Apart from the jetlag it’s not too bad, actually. I’ve had worse jobs that didn’t take me to the far corners of the world.
