I have no issues with reports saying that active Tooters are down post birdsite fleeing surge. Why? The fediverse incentives simply do not reward outrage. You get more boosts and favorites by building community, sharing knowledge, and helping others than by trying to amplify anger.

Perhaps it is because I curate and auto censor certain hashtags but I never leave the fediverse feeling stressed, angst, or generalized anger.
