That is exactly the kind of insanity I'm refering to.
I mean ... you've written 1100 comments here on Lemmy in three months. So ... welcome to the asylum?
You don't understand! Someone doing that on some other social media platform is bad and insane! Him doing that on this social media platform is good and based! Jesus Christ, it's a simple concept!
That averages to 12 comments and half a post a day.
You know how averages work, right?
Honestly, someone who posts everyday averaging 12 comments is probably crazier than the occasional poster who very occasionally hits ~~50~~ 200 in a day.
Edit: I misread the limits as being 50 comments, which I stand by as not too crazy now and again. 200 comments/replies even on the most newsworthy days is certainly getting to the ‘difficult to do’ level. I’ll grant you that I’d be hard pressed to get to 200 even if I tried. I consider myself on your side on this one. I’ll only say that citing any average usage per day is unimportant, because there are no limits on the average daily usage, only absolute upper limits.
You're free to think that way. It, however, is in no way in conflict with what I originally said, and thus isn't the self-own you think it is.
I said very clearly that I view 50 posts and/or 200 comments a day as insanity. To act as if 1200 comments in 100 days - which averages to 12 comments a day - is somehow equivalent is pretty disingenuous.
