@sennoma @mhoye I wholeheartedly agree with you Bill.
In my early days here I lamented the fact the Fediverse was missing my people from the other place (blue bird).
Now I don’t feel that way anymore because I LOVE the culture of the Fediverse, how mindful it is and how it’s all about genuine connection (as opposed to a gamified popularity contest).
I LOVE it here and I hope it keeps growing slowly and organically so that this culture persists and influences the behavior of newcomers
