To each their own! I think, especially to someone on reddit, we effectively count as no active users. I don’t expect people to be literal especially when they are talking about the user experience. (Heck, myspace still has millions of visitors but in common conversation, almost everyone would call it dead.)
If we want more people, we should think about how others view us, and instead of being angry that they aren’t being literal, maybe we can think how to play to our strengths.
I dunno, rants like this just feel like we’re being angry at people for a completely reasonable take on the fediverse.

A post like that gets 13 comments. People aren’t interested in this stuff. It’s tedious, it’s boring, they don’t care.
But when you post about the frustration of the process, you get 107 comments.
Ha, very fair. For what it’s worth, I imagine a good chunk of the comments are because, well, for me at least this got caught up in the “hot” sorting, which then snowballs things.
Conflict etc generates clicks and engagement, even on alt social media!
Appreciate you trying to do the work! For my part, my hackles go a little on edge whenever I see what feels like another fediverse user blaming the normies for not hanging out for our community despite being rich in Star Trek/linux/bizzare memes and (sometimes extreme) Leftie politics.

We’ve done the work, but nobody cares.

That’s probably what happened.
Next time I’ll just rant in the Matrix Fedibridge room.
