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?

I'd wager early adopters tend to be more active. Probably it has something to do with the size of the community too, you don't feel like you're being drown in the noice and most people don't have that "I need my voice to be heard" impulse (I have to be fair) which drives people to actively participate in something like Reddit-size when they don't have anything particularly insightful to say.

Yeah, I rarely say anything when plenty of others are already talking. Makes rl pretty sucky when you become unwelcomed because you aren't engaging like everyone else. dies in introvert

I'm like that too, unless I drink some alcohol. Which is definitely a healthy behaviour hah
