@lambadalambda @neon took me one year to surpass the post count i accumulated on twitter over 4 years (also: twitter counts RTs in the post count

@neon @lambadalambda because posts are public (not sure about the mastodon private toot thing though) people can just jump in and hence there's no culture going "you can only talk with me if we're mutual follows" or anything like that, which stifles conversation
