I’ve seen mostly around 1/3 which is not nothing.

I was pretty much only seeing people from my instance in comments. Or people that they followed. Joind an explicitly leftist instance because it had more charecterst to play with and it felt empty.

Oh holy shit is that when I tried mastodon it felt like a ghost town with people only posting and no one engaging in discussions?

I’m going to push back because as society exists now there are a lot of cities I have been to where the graveyard is the most easily accessible green space. I don’t know how weird it may be but sitting with the dead in the quite separated from the surroundings was one of my favorite things to experience. I’m not a religious/spiritual person and it was very helpful in connecting to the people who died before I met them.
