You only pressed the buttons. That’s hardly any of the work required for your text to show up on all of our computers.
You didn’t translate the pulses from your key switches into USB signals, or write the kernel code which translated those inputs into scancodes, or write the browser code which displayed the form box that packaged your text into an HTTP POST request. None of your work went into the firmware on the routers which carried your data and you didn’t do a bit of work burying the cables between those routers.
I haven’t check but I’m pretty sure you’re not a datacenter employee in Finland so you don’t contribute to the labor required to manage the servers, you probably don’t contribute to the Lemmy project or Mozilla/Chromium projects.
Your post is the result of a huge amount of tools, services in infrastructure that you had no hand in inventing, deploying or maintaining.
All you did was provide a few grams of force to some thermoplastic and sparked a few neurons.
In the same spirit of pointless gatekeeping.
