MODERATORS
 

Can’t do polls here so we’ve go two options.

  1. A poll on mastodon, if you have an account that can see it and respond: https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/110603767952062644
  2. Use upvotes on top level comments here as voting. Please refrain from adding top level comments, or any comments if possible … just upvote the option that is the most active you’ve been.

The comments will be

  1. I’ve written a post or more
  2. I’ve only commented on or replied to a post
  3. I’ve only up/down voter posts/comments
  4. I’ve only lurked.

Sorting by New should show them in order.

Same here. I was primarily a lurker on reddit, but have been forcing myself to ~~post~~ comment and engage more on Lemmy. Doing my part to help Lemmy grow however small it may be.

Edited for clarity.

  1. On reddit it wasn't often if ever I really ever posted anything, and so far it's the same here. I usually would just up vote posts/comments or just answer questions on askreddit out of boredom.

Ha. Nice. Where does yours come from?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

From back when I was 12 or so, playing Unreal Tournament 2004. I don't remember exactly how it started. You?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a tolkein LOTR thing. I don't think it's a word that comes up anywhere in the books, but you might notice it's similar to other words like "Dol Guldur". The back of the Silmarillion has a short dictionary/glossary of words and word components, and so I grabbed two and put them together. "Maegul" should mean something like sharp or piercing sorcery/magic.
