@jwildeboer Also, the idea that people on the Fediverse are *positively* instead of *negatively* motivated is interesting. I've always thought of it as the opposite -- that people get started on the Fediverse because of their disillusionment with siloed social networks, and that it's hard to maintain that motivation long enough to actually make a home here. I think there may be some survivorship bias, though: people who have been here a while have found something here that gives them meaning.
