I'm enjoying the site overall, but I feel like a lot of people are way too die-hard into the philosophy here, to the point where everything seems to come back around to endless circle jerks about how cool and awesome we are for using the superior open platform.
I like it because it's open, but it really isn't THAT big of a thing, and I'm getting pretty burned out only the endless talks about what is and isn't the best pure way to implement the perfect utopia of federation.
I think that's a user influx problem, we've had it multiple times over at mastodon as well, usually it dies down again after a couple of weeks, and we can just concentrate on other things instead, at least until a new wave of users arrive :)
