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.
You don’t like when the first half of a thread is shitty puns and the same stupid jokes nonstop? Weirdo
There was something comforting, though, about the predictability of it all.
