a.k.a. the 90–9–1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

I think there is a bit of a trend with social websites where initially a large amount of the original active user-base is involved in content creation, but whether through gradual growth or an "eternal September" event (I have seen both first-hand), a large influx of users generally attracts more consumers than producers. Right now I think the Fediverse is still fairly niche despite how long it has been around for, so we have a larger share of creators compared to consumers. I try and participate in making stuff where I can :)

With a large enough group it becomes likely for the average user to already see the comment they thought of. It becomes fairly pointless and might feel cringe to repeat the same thing even if phrased differently. So you just add your upvote to the pile and move on.
