Has the #fediverse replaced tech twitter? Instead of listening to Elon Musk, let's check Hacker News.
Our first statistic is the *number* of posts. As you can see, twitter lost some activity post-musk, and the fediverse took it. Big disparity, though.
But wait. The drop in *quality* on twitter is much more drastic. Despite similar volumes, it's upvoted less.
Our final chart shows that posts on the fediverse are, on average, regarded slightly higher than twitter ever was.
