Why do people post things they have no interest in also discussing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sometimes I find things personally interesting, but don't have the energy or bandwidth to also discuss, but might later
Sometimes I come across something I think others will find interesting, but don't personally
Sometimes I don't initially find something I posted personally interesting but the comments catch my attention
Sometimes I come across something I don't find interesting, but it seems like it would be a niche thing with a niche Lemmy comm that could use some more traffic
Sometimes it's just a crosspost from a .ml comm to a non-.ml comm to help reduce .ml's influence and general boycott of them
Mostly when I post a meme there isn't much to discuss, unless someone poses a good question I wanted to engage with :shrugs:
If it doesn't even bear discussion, then why post it at all
Why do people make rhetorical comments?
