didn't realize i picked one of the top ten instances. lots of programmers here.

Tech enthusiasts tend to make up the early adopters of a new social media platform, and programmers tend to have some level of passion for technology.

Threads must be the exception.

Threads is new but not novel. It's essentially just Meta Twitter and is using Facebook and Instagram to give it automatic momentum.

Hell yeah! Not sure if I’m active or not though

"Active users" in these sort of metrics tend to just be one sort of post/comment in the past 30 days, so probably!
