Appreciate the reply! It’s a cool way to view it in individual terms. I was thinking in more social terms, however, which I’ve been a little fascinated to find seems to be a little atypical from the replies so far.
I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.

This does seem to come closer to what I was wondering about when I originally posted, good eye!
OP asks the real life equivalent of being AFK which, assuming you’re normally regularly online, only really corresponds to being high or sleeping.
The funny thing is, it didn’t occur to me how vague my question was until after I posted and started seeing the replies. That’s made it more fun tbh, and interesting as in this context (online vs. in real life) I’ve not really thought of being online in such individualistic terms as this and some other replies suggest.
Is there something mystical to this?
Does it sometimes seem like commenting in high traffic online spaces feels this way too, not just Reddit?
I was looking for a word that might immediately resolve questions regarding how it might work and the like, to avoid those follow-up questions and free people up to answer however they imagine it would work. It’s…Kinda worked? Aside from a few replies like this, which I don’t mind, I just wanted to encourage people to roll with it as they will
duplicate duplicate, unless there’s something you’d prefer with multiplidicity
Only an existential crisis? What about existential crises?
…Does anyone have data on how many people still use checks?
I thought of “surfing the web” as more of a superficial approach personally. I was thinking more along the lines of “researching” or digging through sites with a similar topic but each went deeper or in different directions than the first.
Although on second thought and a little looking around, it looks like “net diver” never took off as its own term? What strange rocks have I been under? 😵
Huh, so literally raw html? I know it’s not too difficult, but I have wondered occasionally how many small websites may have been written that way.
