What I find interesting is that when I joined #mastodon there was a lot of conversation going on.

That still happens but a lot of users seem to just be posting status updates , twitter or facebook style that don't really leave a gap open for conversation.

@Divan not my impression during my #woollyweek . I was in interesting discussions about noise, background of hate in social media, some near miss of escalating missunderstandings and with a developer...
for me definit more than a normal week on birdside...
@Divan we must keep this in good shape...
