We aren’t really a big instance. We don’t even make the top-20. Where we really hit above our weight though is our comment count.

We are medium in size, but we are super engaged.

    I was watching Active Users and Environment passed Melbourne a week or so ago. They are comment heavy with a set amount of users posting as their Active Count has barely moved off of 200.

    If Environment stopped posting, it would fall behind Melbourne and Brisbane quite quickly. It’s the excessive regularity that pushed it up there.

      excessive regularity

      15 of the next 17 posts in my Local feed are your posts to Environment 🤣

      I applaud your commitment to the Community, and the Instance!

        I intentionally went 24 hours without posts. I think 3 went in but so many interesting stories were missed.

        Gotta keep up with the news cycle!

      I like your posts, and appreciate the commitment to keeping things updated.

      My folks are very environmentally conscious, to the point where most of my inheritance has been given / will be given to various environmental charities. I’m not mad - it’s their money, they earned it, and trying to save the world is probably a better way of spending it than I would have done.

      It does mean I can feel a bit comfortable about my slacktivism though.

        I don’t know how I feel about that. As long as you’re happy.

        The world is so different, not helping one’s kids through late-stage capitalism seems like a journey for the child that doesn’t need to be taken.

          They gave a good start in life. It’s up to me to make the most of the opportunity.

          Honestly I wish more families would take this approach. It would remove the problem of inter-generational wealth which is a huge problem in class divide.

          There’d still be some discrepancy due to better assistance at the start of life, but at least it wouldn’t be the unabridgable gap that exists now between the working class and extremely wealthy.

            Only somone whom is filthy rich would worry about intergenerational wealth problems?

            Most of the people I know are barely scraping by. They would give everything to their kids if they had something to give.

            Old Gen X and Boomers tend to give the “I did it tough” and kick them out of the nest spiel. I’m sure the millenials and zoomers love putting a majority of their pay into rent…puts hair on their chest (whatever gender).
