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

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.
