For how long have you been on the #Fediverse?
-
This poll is kind of flawed since anyone here who has been here for 3 years has 2 options in the poll (both 1 to 3 and 3 to 5).
A better poll would have been:
* Less than 1 year
* 1 to 3 years
* 4 to 5 years
* More than 5 years@NetscapeNavigator @jwildeboer
Netscape's right. In the English language 1 to 3 years implies the inclusion of every day of the third year up until the 4th.

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net
No, @NetscapeNavigator@social.vivaldi.net is right. If I wanted to vote 3 years, which would I pick? 1 to 3 years, or would I pick 3 to 5.
If your poll is serious you made it wrong.@Linux @jwildeboer @NetscapeNavigator
People who have been here for exactly three years can't decide what to vote for :

@jwildeboer depends how you count it really, I was on identi.ca fifteen plus years ago or whenever it was, took a break while it was constantly changing and evolving (status net, gnu social, etc) and then came back to mastodon/activitypub a few years ago.

First insight: "Far longer than I originally thought" is quite popular
@jwildeboer yeah, I think mine is 5 years with a big asterix. I checked it out in covid, got really confused and bored, and left multiple times to go back to IG/FB/Twitter.
I go here when I don't want to be overstimulated on the corporate social media sites, which could be once a day or once a quarter depending on my mood.

@jwildeboer My Mastodon profile says 2019...but I suspect that might be my second account as I switched handles and wanted a clean account...probably around 2017 or 2018.

@jwildeboer Unfortunately my original instance no longer exists to check but I'm *pretty certain* I joined before april 2021, I think it was in 2020 or maybe even 2019 in fact.

but when they booted me for celebrating the death of a racist, fascist bigot & I came to the #fediverse, i couldn't be happier!

@jwildeboer Due to some weird timestamp error, my first post on Octodon social was a few hours before the admin’s first “test” post. There were obviously people already there in good numbers, and I felt late to the party in April 2017. People rushed in, people rushed out. Nov ‘22 was the peak influx for sure- I think that was when Musk did a particularly onerous thing that was a final straw for lots of Twitter holdouts. It was an interesting time, and I’m glad it’s worked out this long.

@jwildeboer I remember paying to crowdfund Mastodon back in the day. Got access to something for that, but I didn't really stick around or use it much. But if that counts, about 9 years.
Still, I think at least 5 years for real, but I have changed servers quite a few times, so I am not really sure.

@jwildeboer Strictly speaking, I've had an account since 2017; but in practice I've been most active over the past 3-5 years.
