To me it’s more like the numbers mean something different. While they still mean mostly nothing, the numbers that display on your profile tell what kind of user you are and how much seniority you have here. Been here close to two years? Maybe you came from the API fiasco. Got 1000+ comments and 50+ post? Somewhat active user you probably seen once or twice before. 0 post and below 50 comments but seemingly active? Potential lurker. Still mostly meaningless because it could be alt and who really cares but NGL when I look at the stats of the really active users I’m like damn they really contributed to the Lemmy content mill.
