I know a lot of lurkers like me out there are browsing, but there’s quite a bit of engagement capitol on the federated instances. If you find an interesting topic and the right community, you get a lot of feedback. There’s not much hate being thrown out there either.
Try yelling fire, using the word “alot”, or threatening a puppy? I’ve looked at your posts and while they are intellectually stimulating, there’s a degree of knowing your audience involved. I would wager many people on here are people in drool mode after a rough patch at work.
There’s also the fact that I’m a liar.
