@GinnyMcQueen I believe this is the biggest problem with P2P/cooperative efforts right now. It's alost as if people got so used to being coerced to do stuff ("work or you will starve") that they almost lost the ability to do things without someone telling them to.

@GinnyMcQueen I don't post often not because I don't want to be here, but because of some mild social anxiety. I can usually overcome it (like right now) but it requires some effort. I love following people with experiences different from my own though so that I can understand different perspectives. There are some of us who prefer to passively listen and participate that way 🙂

@GinnyMcQueen I think you're 100% right about this. I also run a small instance (~100 users). I think the majority of those showed up, saw that they'd have to participate in the community building, and went back to G+ or Twitter or whatever. There is a nice core of folks who post regularly, and the core is growing slowly. It's actually nice.

@GinnyMcQueen and I think many people signed up on multiple instances to claim their name/handle. So I think some are active, but they have inactive accounts.

@GinnyMcQueen what is the largest instance?

@GinnyMcQueen yeah let's keep talking!
