Yes
If someone replies with just the words “that’s not dull”, I interpret it as more of a gatekeep-y response. The ones I naturally read as compliments usually have a little more flair, e.g. “Way too interesting to post here” “this is more of a c/extraordinarygentlemensclub post”
Checked to see if that was a real comm, i’m dissapointed.

Not a shower thought
well I should start by saying this is not really a shower thought and would make more sense in ask lemmy but for myself its kinda a compliment.
A question can be a shower thought, especially if it’s a rhetorical question.
Not to mention, the Philosophical Raptor meme format is pretty much just interrogative shower thoughts
Wait. Are you complimenting or gatekeeping?
I’ve only seen it in a you’re selling yourself short fashion.
As long as it’s something you did, people seem quite relaxed about what gets posted.
I count that as gatekeeping. It’s the reason my contribution to that community has degreased over 90%. If it was just “men’s club” then I’d have a ton of stuff to post there but nowdays I just consider it all too interesting to post there but not interesting enough to post anywhere else so I just don’t post it anywhere then.
Start your own community. I’d follow mildly interesting men’s club.
Careful that it doesn’t morph into downright interesting men’s club, it’s a slippery slope
Matters of taxonomy.
I think you should take all of it as praise
