I’m curious.

@c_dan4th I’m in 10+ bracket as I focus on building local community with my account by doing a weekly events thread called #BostonWeekend.
You can meet more local mutuals by throwing an irl meetup! It’s easy and still legal, post to your closest city’s tag and get the ball rolling. I’m organizing #bostodon for eastern #masssachusetts on 4/19, come!

@c_dan4th ISTM this question should have been based on percentages. 10% of 100 versus 100% of 10 are the same absolute number, but an answer to a very different question. Maybe ask both?

[trisweb@m.trisweb.com]

@knizer @c_dan4th still legal, lol

Seriously though, #bostodon is why this number is so high for me! Thanks!

[c_dan4th@mstdn.social]

@saramg Lots of possible ways this could have gone. It would be nice to have more than four options as well, but that’s a limit to my instance.

I’m mostly interested in the conversations that this has been sparking. I have met more of my mutuals than I’d remembered!

[c_dan4th@mstdn.social]

@bryanredeagle I’m both jealous that you have coworkers on Fedi and relieved that I don’t have any coworkers on Fedi.

[ada@blahaj.zone]

@c_dan4th@mstdn.social I've met way more than 10 mutuals, but some of them didn't become mutuals until after we'd met

[timjan@social.linux.pizza]

@c_dan4th 3?
But in two of these three cases, it's been many years since I met them (in non-fedi contexts); the third is very inactive, and I haven't told them my RL identity, so they probably don't even know that I am the one who's behind the dandelions.

[niavy@masto.bike]

@c_dan4th
Met half a dozen over the 3 years here, then met about a dozen more last year when I went to Paris for a TV show.
Plus 2 or 3 I received snail mail from.

[emeline@piaille.fr]

@c_dan4th they are so many of them I can't count anymore, thanks to biking and "mastaperos" (mastodon aperos)!
To think I didn't know any of them a few years ago 🤯

[fourmiune@mastodon.world]

@c_dan4th

I think they are all bots

[david@setouchi.social]

@c_dan4th I met them before they joined, though, not after.

[tellington@eldritch.cafe]

@c_dan4th a bunch, but some I followed here after meeting them IRL

[a_denie@toot.io]

@c_dan4th to be fair, I only ever met 1 twitter moot. Now tumblrina's...

[shavounet@piaille.fr]

@c_dan4th it's more "I've added all friends and coworkers, so it feels nice"

[mehdi_benadel@mastodon.balamb.fr]

@c_dan4th I possibly know or have met more than 10 but I cannot check with the app, they are so spread out in my followers ^^

[thehole@dasforum.org]

@c_dan4th If I take the people into account I knew before, then lots, otherwise none

[lnr@sunny.garden]

@c_dan4th I think I've met about 20% of the people I follow here. although I had to do a mental double check with some of the people I've known online forever as to whether we were actually ever in the same physical place.

Nowhere near all my friends though

[gigabecquerel@chaos.social]

@c_dan4th "A bunch", but this feels skewed as my local friends got me onto mastodon after twitter went shit, so I started out with 5-10 mutuals from day zero

[witewulf@cyberplace.social]

@c_dan4th @purplepadma I went for 4-10, but that’s mostly folk I already knew IRL pre-fedi, and we all came over from Xwitter

[snail@mstdn.crmbl.uk]

@c_dan4th i think technically 1, about 30 years ago at a computer fair.

The one other mutual i thought i had appeares to be on a now dead instance (mastodonapp.uk) and i guess never migrated.

Most other people i knew personally from Twitter fled to Bluesky instead.
