which is one of the great advantages of the Fedi verse, because you can if you want to. Mbin lets you, Frienidca lets you, and Mastodon lets you. I don’t like how Mastodon handles lemmy communities or Friendica Forums by making it look as though the group user re-toots every post and comment, but others do! We can all have what we want thanks to the magic of Free Software!
Everybody can interpret those numbers differently, to me they show that people on the Threadiverse don’t care about the microblogging format that much.
Yes, people do. Thankfully we as a community aren’t bound to corporate shareholders, so it doesn’t matter how many people choose to use it, we don’t have a need to increase users. While we don’t have a fiduciary duty to be kind for similar reasons, I think it is generally a good idea to do so. In my experience when I have used words/phrase like “everybody” “nobody” or “people don’t” some have told me they found it off-putting or belittling when they are in the minority so I try to avoid it but I still find it hard sometimes as that is not the way I was taught to speak in government indoctrination camp so there is a lot of de-schooling I need to do.
