The last number feels curiously out of sync with the first two. But more disturbing is that my mastodon.social engagements have plummeted in the last 2 months. I have relied on it for the most interesting discussions, but the opportunities for them seem to be tapering off. Are there fewer users, does my breath smell, or is there just less interest? I can’t tell yet, but I want to rekindle them, if that’s possible. I need them to stay sane.
