That can't be enough to net positive.

At the time I though it was too slow and didn't get it. Then I went to another social network (like Mastodon but smaller, it didn't federated with Mastodon, I can't remember its name now). Then I came back in November 2022, but this time with some friends from Twitter. Some of them explained me how this place works and I met more people afterwards. It has been better.

I think the poll was meant to count in whole years of 365 days each.
I've joined the Fediverse in August 2020 which is more than 5 years, therefore I didn't pick the option "3-5 years".

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.
