Unless anyone knows another reason for this impressive increase in comments? Seems to roughly coincide with Sync launching. If thats the case, just goes to show the importance of good third party apps.

EDIT: Looks like a confusingly labeled graph and I think this is total comments. I have no idea why that spike could exist though.
Yeah definitely a different kind of social media. I come on here to browse the trending content and see what other people are saying about it. It's content focused, rather then Mastodon where it's focused on a person's single post and gets easily buried among low effort posts.
This is a good observation, it means that kind of social media (twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) is much more egotistical and self-aggrandizing,which in turn explains why people like Musk and Trump are so enamoured with the format.
Thanks for putting down my vague impression into clear words. I couldn't agree more!
