How long are you active on the #Fediverse?

@SteveFoerster@social.vivaldi.net @stux I’m wondering if it’ll be skewed a bit for the crowd that’s been around less than a year. There’s no algorithm so those that are still starting out or early in their Fediverse experience probably wouldn’t have seen this poll. That compared to those of us that have been around and have followed @stux@mstdn.social

@stux only a little over a year idk why it took me so long

@stux 7 years; 2 months; 1 week; 4 days ... I like to be accurate

@stux I have no idea!

I moved because your other instance was getting too large, and I moved to that from some other instance. Definitely more than 3 years, depending on your definition of “active” 🥴

@mees @stux

Oct 31, 2022. Part of the "I ain't sticking around supporting Nazis" 2022 wave. My first instance quit, so joined the most excellent .party in 2023.

@disorderlyf @stux

Same. I've been around since 2018. I was more active in 2020, then took a break, came back in 2022, took another break. And so on.

Every time with a new account.

@mookie @stux Well, I did say it was unscientific, and I hope you're right! But the flipside of being decentralized is that there's no financial force to seek media attention and otherwise push adoption, so I'll admit to being concerned.

@stux Joined during one of the big migration waves from Twitter, loved the experience and decided to stay. It's been a good time!

@stux I said over three because that’s accurate if we’re talking about continuously active. I was active for a few months in 2018 before drifting away for a long while.

@SteveFoerster@vivaldi.net I think it's okay that there’s no financial force to seek media attention/push adoption. It’s nice here because of it.

I've been here since 2018 and while there are people that have left the Fediverse since, it's always been alive here and lots of nice people to interact with (like how we are).

@fruitcakesareyum @stux Biggest difference for me is I stuck around since 2022-2023 after a certain incident involving a South African wannabe rocket scientist and a sink.

@stux Immediately after the takeover by Elon Musk!

@stux@mstdn.social

Just realised that I am active since the last 5 and something years.

I joined Diaspora a long time ago but since 2019 I started again.

@stux

Just over three years - and very grateful that my account was still here after I had been absent for > 6 months

@stux joined just this year

@stux and it’s a disappointment

@stux, f@#$k, we must cancel the vote! I made a mistake; it will be over a year in April.

@stux The day of Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, when he insulted former Twitter employees.

@stux since 2020

@stux
hmm, what was happening about 3 years ago that so many folks joined the fediverse?
