    Using a back-of-the-envelope calculation, what the #fediverse calls "normies" are 99.8% of the population. In a normal distribution, being here is a statistically notable 3-sigma event🤣

    Its not the case that #mastodon (or #bluesky) are "dying", but in terms of actual impact: changing the online experience for the *vast* majority of people, its obviously zilch - as has always been

    Yet maintaining faith in these proof-of-concept projects feels important. Its like protecting biodiversity🐘

    @openrisk You’re absolutely right. Monoculture is bad. Diversity is good. We can’t have the benefits of diversity without having different people doing different things. If I did the same as everyone else, I would be working against diversity.

    @openrisk I believe that I am what most would call 'normie', but I am here because I see it worthwhile having other points of view.
