a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

Part of the reason is that those 1% are just the people forwarding articles the first microsecond they are out, and if you don't check yourself and submit like a normal person would, your post will get buried and ignored, or worse, you will just get accused of duplicating to farm karma. Sometimes by karmawhores just trying to brigade out the competition and get material to feed their own karma addiction.

Wait until we federate with threads and then you get hyper-spammed by their algorithmically optimised inanity and hatred. quickly! hate trump, blame democrats, talk about aliens and balloons! quick a sub imploded, don't worry about Palestine getting gang raped again by Israel!
