@andrey I guess it all depends on what people are looking for. Some just got annoyed at Twitter but they really want what Twitter offers while others (like me) actually find the Fediverse way much better. The former will leave when they can’t get what they want, the latter will (hopefully) stick around 🙂

@AngelaPreston My guess would be that the wrong course was dictated by the randomness — it took one step away from the source and then kept making new turns randomly trying to find a stronger smell “signal”?

@AngelaPreston Yep .. or at least, that's similar to my thoughts. I guess I expect too much of people and this kind of thing just makes me think way too much about the "why" rather than simply just shrugging it off and moving on 😛

The next time you use any navigation device, software or Google Maps thank Dr. Gladys West. Her contributions to the mathematical modeling of the shape of Earth, and her work on the development of the satellite models that were eventually incorporated into  the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. #BlackMastodon #BlackHistoryMonth

@andrey I do hope people keep joining and Sigmoid was extremely useful when I joined in finding other people in #MachineLearning 🙂

Regarding people dropping out, is it possible that they are perhaps moving to their own instances or, as they get more used to the Fediverse, moving to other places which have the particular functionality they are looking for?

Speaking for me personally, I found that posting about #MachineLearning papers, I constantly kept hitting the 500 character limit and had to struggle sometimes to condense things down to 500 characters 😛

Plus, I had plans to doing serialised stories on here and 500 characters was just too limiting …

So I switched to my own Akkoma instance which gave me the ability to have much longer posts. Doing papers daily is much easier now since I don’t have to spend a lot of time trying to stick to the 500 character limit ….

So possibly there are others who are moving for similar (or other) reasons? I don’t know … Just suggesting a possibility.

On the Fediverse you definitely get more engagement, however, some of that engagement is rather weird 😛

Just over the last 24 hours, I’ve seen at least three such engagements where people make cryptic, drive-by-remarks which either misunderstand the original post, or is completely off the point.

Since I’ve had very little engagement with people I didn’t follow on Twitter, I don’t know if this is normal or not. But it seems a little weird to me …

The one personal engagement of the ones I mentioned above was my wife getting a reply about an art project she was doing. She was doing the art for something I was working on and she mentioned it was at my request. She also mentioned that she was using a particular type of brush. She gets a response saying that she shouldn’t be dictated to as to what type of brush she uses …

We were both mystified since she didn’t say she was using the brushes at my request, nor at anybody else’s. So why the comment? Just poor reading skills? Jumping to conculsions? Or just the need to insert yourself into other people’s lives right or wrong? 😛

I have no idea … (Of course, as a disclaimer, these interactions are the exception. Most interactions here on the Fediverse have been really great and I do like being here way more than Twitter …)

@AlexKourvo To the original question, I don’t know if all men do it or not, but I certainly don’t 🙂 When I’m at home I generally wear a sarong and so don’t even have pockets. Plus, why bother with all that. But what I can tell you is that my house key (which is the only key I have) is in my “outside” pants pocket all the time because I don’t want to forget it when I go out 😛 Maybe that (or a similar reason) is why your Dad does it too?

@dipti My grandmother did it too 🙂 I always thought it was a power move because there were multiple families living in that house and nobody could take stuff out of the larder/pantry unless she opened it. But of course, each of those families had their own stores too … But she controlled the “big” store 😀

@BobStep Could be that it’s collecting/archiving your posts. I’ve heard of instances which have bots which follow you so that they can slurp up your timeline and archive it etc.

There was a brouhaha a while back about such an instance, and they had an account called “Everybody” which would follow you. I blocked that account. One of the few I’ve blocked on here …
