Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

I'm actively lurking, I just have nothing of value to share 🌝

I feel like people just want to hang out and talk about stuff. We don't always need to be wowed by some crazy high quality content or new OC. We just want to hang out with friends and shoot the shit. Most of us are on here to distract us from whatever bullshit we should probably be doing instead.

At least it's less likely for your boss to find you here on the Fediverse.

Just emphasizing my upvote on your comment through my comment.

To be honest, I do the same thing. A couple of simple rules to keep the web entertaining:

  1. Filter everything that triggers you
  2. Ban porn
  3. Never, never look at comments on politics, religion and family. You're like to want to erase humanity afterwards

Yeah it took a long time for me to finally curate Reddit to something I enjoyed using, I've started increasingly working on my filters and it just gets better and better here.

Like Reddit, I find trying to find communities I'm interested in a little difficult so I'm just defaulting to all and continuing to filter for now. At some point soon I'll be able to just default to subscribed.
