Is it just me or does every online Monero community feel like a ghost town recently? (mander.xyz)

The stackexchange is abandoned, the subreddits feel haunted, there are sparse posts that are few and far between with limited and carefully monitored activity, there isn't much talk about Monero even in general cryptocurrency communities other than the occasional passing mention. Did i miss something? are external factors at play?

Its almost Monero's 10th anniversary you guys, where is everybody?

Most of the regulars are hanging out on matrix. There are actually a lot of exciting things in the pipeline: Monerokon, Haveno, Serai, FCMPs, etc.

People have said the current bullrun in general is boring and the excitement is nothing compared to the last one. And Monero isn't even participating in the current bullrun :P

Shame, during the great Fediverse migration, I expected there would be more people in Monero specific spaces as the concept of the fediverse in general aligns so well with the values behind Monero, unfortunately it seems it has just become a bubble of ideologies. I expected there would sort of be a chatter surrounding the 10th anniversary, I guess most people in the community have 'settled' and are done with Monero activism and I am the one who is late.

Hung around with the Serai people(digitally) near the start of the bullrun, as I understand they plan to launch their own native coin(which I have some reservations against), and don't really have a focus on privacy(at least right now)
