I still doubt we make 9 millions posts per day, there is another graph dedicated to comments, which has a much tinier drop on Thanksgiving: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
I dunno if people would post so much for upvotes alone. Comments are nice, and I get friendly ones pretty frequently on my posts, and try to leave just as many on others posts :)
It was mostly curmudgeonly humor, but really it does take less effort in general to make comments than it does to make posts. So it would make sense that it would see less of a dip when people are busy. It’s easy to just jump on and make a few comments or participate in a discussion than to put the effort into making a post of some kind.
It really depends on the kind of person, though. I’d imagine some people find it easier to provide content than to comment on it or respond to others doing so.

I’m pretty sure ThePicardManuever posts 9 million times a day.
Well, yeah. Posters actually put in effort. Commenters are lazy people who just removed out their terrible opinions.
Yea well, that’s just like, your opinion, man
Commenters are the worst.
Especially the ones that have custom profiles with names and removed.
Like Bro you aren’t fooling anyone, we all know you aren’t really a squid that flies.

Hey, my opinions are awesome but you are correct about the removedting and laziness.
this looks more like total posts tbh
