I post a comment or question on...

birbsite: eerie silence, then a marketing bot follows me.

fediverse: fourfteen badillion replies that are all well thought out and interesting and oh god now I have to reply and I'm in seven conversations halp oops I made new friends

@andyAstruc I was thinking about that earlier today. I get responses to comments, answers to questions, a boatload of boosts and favs, and my site gets views.

On Birbsite, even after 10 years, I'm still just shouting into the void. most of the time.

@Nezchan Heck, on other sites I can barely get my existing family and friends to pay attention to me or my work. This is all just so... warm.
