So, is it getting quieter here in the #Fediverse; is it even dying?
That I don't know, but I can add some data: At least for @heiseonline it seems to be the opposite; the number of comments and likes keeps on growing.

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.
And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ค๐

We all make mistakes,
If your comment is reported, and brings up a complex issue, we will reach out to you and ask you to rephrase it.
Our goal, is to create a serene space for discussion. Nothing more.
If the post isn't edited to remove hurtful language element, we will have to remove it. It would be a shame because your comment was interesting and you took some time to write it.
In case of xenophobia, racism, transphobia, homophobia or harassment, it will be a permanent ban.
It might be more like users are consolidating.
For the past few years, one of the only ways for most people to join different parts of the fediverse was to create multiple accounts for multiple instances. I had to do that over the past couple of years in order to join whatever instance using whatever platform that I happened to be on. On top of that, at the start, I wasn't sure what the platform I was on was like or whether or not I wanted to stay with it, so I created a burner account. So when I started heavily using the fediverse two or three years ago, I had a ton of accounts, most of which were just short lived accounts because I didn't know I wanted to stay with any one instance or platform.
~~Mbin~~ ... Kbin ... was a famous example ... it started out as a promising alternative to a reddit like system and I started a couple of accounts there, only for the whole thing to die off and become ~~Kbin~~ .. Mbin ... [EDIT: I got Kbin and Mbin mixed up - thanks @Blaze@piefed.zip ]
So for the longest time, I've always been cautious and just started temporary or burner accounts everywhere because I wasn't sure it would last. Now everything is maturing and I'm feeling more and more confident every day and now I spend almost all my time on the fediverse. Which means I'm using fewer accounts and the accounts I'm using are becoming permanent
Nice comment
just FYI, it's the other way around
Oh nice ... I screwed up ... sorry about that ... in addition to missing out on Kbin, I was so discouraged by them dying out that it took me a while to get back to them as they became Mbin
Will correct my original comment ... thanks
