I'm a spy for Facebook and or the Russian/US government. Maybe something to do with China on the side too, not sure. In my free time I shill BP products to the children in my neighbourhood and have a passive income clubbing seals during my winter break. Due to a debilitating sense of laziness, I invite food delivery workers into my home and have my way with them in lieu of payment. At night I climb unto my roof to look at the star(s) whilst perching over the street and mutter to any night joggers about being vengeance incarnate. My interests include anime, dog-walking, and folding paper cranes.
Unemployed. I was a software dev, but it has been hard for me to get a job for last 1.5 years. It sucks. Currently, working to set up a small horticulture farm.
Psyops
Nice try, HR.
@ThePicardManuever probably too busy posting to respond.
ITT: none of the power posters I was thinking of. Suspiciously silent now, eh?
Obviously nobody wants to brag about being a jobless nerd who posts on social media all day.
๐คฃ Abso_lutely_ none of the usual suspects have chimed in here.
Right? There are a handful of users that I'd expect here but don't see
Professional procrastinator, PhD
Homeless, I just spend all day at the public library. Where do we go to to trade in all the upvotes for cash?
Either the Dennies or under the 4th st bridge.
That's perfect, that's where I communicate to people what the voices are telling me! I expect they'll just start showering me with money when I begin the ritual ejaculation.
apprentice bench jeweler, but during the day all i really do is wait on customers so i end up with WAY too much free time. i get to make all sorts of cool shit tho!
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.
Quality control manager in a fabrication shop. A lot of my job is waiting for machines to do their thing.
Different job, but same scenario. I hook things up to a machine, run it an hour, swap the next units in, repeat until done. Sometimes there's other stuff to do, but the basic job is mostly waiting.
I poop... A lot.
2 of my jobs are food service and the third one is retail.
Fucking kill me.
I don't have a title per se, but I can say that I work with information security and vast amounts of data. I have ADHD so doing "mindless" things like quipping on Lemmy, sudoku and word search puzzles helps me think. It is also why I often comment with images. So I might be commenting or shitposting, but in the back of my head I am thinking about how to restructure a query so that it will return in seconds rather than minutes.
EDIT: It is also why most comments are edited. I comment now and return to spell/grammar check later (if at all).
"IT Support".
Shore support specialist for this production system (server cluster) used offshore. I spend most of my time "available, on standby".
That sounds like an awesome gig for 99% of the time and an absolute bitch and a half the 1% of the time you're needed.
Apart from the jetlag it's not too bad, actually. I've had worse jobs that didn't take me to the far corners of the world.
Nurse manager. I browse when I wake and during dinner. Sometimes during work breaks. I don't really post. Mostly comment. Doesn't take long to comment
The question has been eating at you for some time, not since some time.
Also, I've wondered the exact same thing. I never recalled seeing such prolific cross community posters on reddit, but here it seems they're all over the place.
Reddit was like that 15 years ago.

Thank you, fixed!
No problem!
Guys, guys, guys...I need the name calling, the insults, the strawman arguments, the DRAMA...what is this "Thanks" and "no problem" crap all about?
/s if it wasn't obvious
Edit: Apparently one person doesn't have a sense of humor. Yay!
You've heard of the Dark Web, right? Welcome to the Light Web.
hundreds overall? You say several per day. I easily do that. Thats not even a lot. Now if you mean hundreds per day then woa. Anyway I am currently unemployed. EDITED - ok posts several a day and comments on everything. That is a lot. I read it wrong initially.
I'm a lumberjack in Antarctica when I'm not moonlighting as a future historian.
Web Developer
I push buttons on computers and wait for things to be done. Sometimes I have to look and find out why the button push didn't do the thing.
In other words, IT.
I'm a software developer and there are many times I have to wait for something (a program execution to finish, clarification about a task, etc.) and thus have time to open tabs for lemmy and other non-work-related websites.
I might not meet your criteria though because I don't usually create "several new posts daily" nor do I comment anywhere near on all threads I read (because I don't comment where I don't feel I have anything useful to add).
