SOREN IS LUKE : killherkillher:
We recently ran some statistics on user comment data: how much more do powerusers comment compared to the unwashed masses of dramatards? At time of analysis, we had 1.297 million comments and 10โ142 user accounts registered. So the question became: how many users, starting with the most prolific commenters, write half of all the comments? The answer is 132, to be exact.
1.3% of rDrama users write 50% of all the comments.

See first chart in supplemental comment. They're included in the count, though we seem to have a lot fewer zero-comment accounts than one would expect for a Reddit or Digg-esque site. Like about 50% of accounts have never commented on rDrama, but usually you'd expect 80-90% who never comment. From there, it actually rises pretty quickly: most people who comment at least once comment a fair bit more, which is sorta visible on the third chart with the logarithmic y-axis.

Once you make your first comment, it becomes easier to keep engaging. It's getting out of lurker mode that's hard.
For any lurkers reading this ... I was there once too. I'm not a poweruser by any stretch of the imagination, I read and upvote more than I share. But it's more fun not being alone here.
Sort the front page by new, and it will be easier to break the seal since you'll be commenting on something that's fresh. It's intimidating to jump into a post that already has 20 well-known commenters bantering, but if there's only one or two, it feels like your voice might actually be heard. Once you get your first few coins as a reward, you're in.
