@ozoned Thinking this over. If I want to measure what I'm getting out of the Fediverse, one way to look at is, if I post something, does anyone care? And do I care about what other people are posting? A good measure of this is how many people actually comment on my posts, and how many posts do I comment on. You could quantify this as "median written responses per post". Note I'm saying written responses, not boosts. Boosts are not enough effort to count. The reason I'm saying *median* is that some networks have accounts with huge fanbases, and those followers do respond. That's "engagement" useful for marketers to know about influencers. And we do have a few very-well-followed accounts here. Using median means these outliers won't skew the result that much. I mean, if I post something, and two people say something back, I'm happy.
