a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

I wonder how this rule compares to real life interactions between people. Imagine having a conversation with someone and noticing 200 people watching from behind a nearby hedge.

It might be comparable to sitting at a cafe or on a park bench and watching all the people go by without talking to each of them.
