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?

Consider the opposite. Every single person on the planet making 10 posts per day. It would be like Facebook on super meth.

Lurkers by definition have no impact, besides their potential to eventually become a creator/participant. Having a high ratio of voters/commenters to creators is more important to surface quality content.

On super meth, we would've needed volunteers to TL:DR; everything. On /r/stims, the comment section tends to be quite lengthy
