Right.
Because doing without thinking never harmed anyone...
Who tf compares thought and action as if they're opposing methods to do anything?
More often than not, to do any good one requires the other and vice versa.
Good shitpost, I guess.
If you want to double down on this, you'll want to ban my alts as well.

You are leaving out what I actually posted in that screenshot. That comment is 100% serious.
By suggesting that this particular image should be tagged, I now feel completely incapable of predicting what you would want tagged, aside from checking whatever a booru contributor or mod has happened to decide.
Hence, the safe option for me is to delete the post, and stop contributing to the community.
Which I am going to do.
You need only glance at my main account, @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz, to see I do a bit more than that.
!gameart@sopuli.xyz is another community I thoroughly enjoy growing.
Saved. That fang is almost more glorious than the braids.
!streetmoe@ani.social would welcome this :D
I'd really appreciate it if you used paragraphs. Would make reading longer comments like that one a little nicer.
Like you say, redundant activity is extremely difficult, and the second and third posters only show up when a community already seems active. It's a catch 22.
On Lemmy, as it is new, we are still in a phase where people like you and me who are out to post things, are more likely to create new communities instead of finding existing ones where the things they want to post would fit in.
That's kinda why I shifted gears and made actively looking out for posts that might fit in in more places part of the my deal. To get that redundancy and overlap going, so that even if I disappear, others might still be around posting similar stuff, and so that the people posting to their own communities, might start posting to each others communities, too.
For the same reason, I want to see if I can get Mastodon users involved with the threadiverse. There are lots of artists over there, and they are already used to hashtags to make relevant things visible to people looking for it, so I don't think it's a stretch that if only the active users over there knew more about the threadiverse, there could be more interaction.
Hopefully Mastodon's support for groups will eventually bring even better interoperability.
If the person from another site wanted to post it on Lemmy themselves, I would do the exact same thing. Encouraging and preferreing that they do so themselves.
As for encouraging activity, I am absolutely succeeding. I measure success as simply whether there are people upvoting, and therefore enjoying, my posts. Why compare ourselves to Reddit?
My first community was !gameart@sopuli.xyz which now has three other regular posters aside from myself and a growing sub-count of 1.5k.
My moe communities are very niche but my bot for posting to them is only getting better, and over this last year several other posters have come and gone, some of which are still active (most notably the other poster on !kemonomoe@ani.social).
There's also a handful of occasional posters like toes and graybackgroundmusic.
I have even spotted the occasional artist posting to the moe communities, though as they actually do the incredible work of producing the art they post, they do so very seldom.
My proudest success has been !dungeonmeshi@ani.social which despite only just hitting 400 subs, has consistently stayed at 700 mau, suggesting there's a ton of room to grow. Posts get A LOT of interactions considering it's a manga/show specific sub, and the episode discussions had commenters EVERY week.
Lots of us mods discuss how to effectively grow the threadiverse/fediverse over on !fedigrow@lemm.ee, check it out!
I think Lemmy>Microblog federation has been borked for a while. I tried to sub to some of my communities to get the federation over to that side of the fediverse, but the subs don't go through, if that gets fixed, communities and posts could reach much more people.
I also want to go see if I can maybe find some artists over on the microblog side, and let them know they can make their Mastodon/whatever posts show up in relevant communities on the threadiverse by mentioning them.
It's partly an excuse to actually comment, which is a little more visible than the link of a crosspost, and as such it's an opportunity to "drop a link" for anyone to maybe find their way to more communities.
But it's mainly a courtesy. I don't want to "steal" every piece of content worth seeing for my own communities, and thereby make them the only ones worth subscribing to. Nor do I want to hog the updoot-dopamine. I want to let the people who find and post things be the ones that enjoy the positive feedback of sharing, as much as possible.
And I want to encourage others to post more and to more communities. When it comes to anime art I'm already carrying way too hard. I want be one of the people sharing anime art on the threadiverse, not the one.
It's unclear whether the spell Maizuru put on Izutsumi is actually lethal. This World Guide chapter reveals that the spell is called "Ninpo: Babysitter" which suggests a much less ghoulish purpose, and that she in fact developed the spell for keeping track of Shuro when he was a child.
But even then, it simply ended up traumatizing him.
This chapter also features Izu, the day she was brought into the Nakamoto family as a retainer.

The extra Reze is the cutest one tbh.
