In my personal (and therefore, limited) experience, engagement is much harder to get in the fediverse. I hope it improves, but it’s not easy to find people you don’t know in order to follow them, and vice versa.

Or we could just work remotely, which is far more productive.

Oh stop, this is just more propaganda. All of the data shows remote work is more productive and wildly popular.

Apparently, I’ve debugged your code.
