No, I think a post on Gab goes farther because it finds an audience.
On the Fediverse, most people appear to be posting into the void.
Very little actual interaction, and it comes from a tiny portion of the userbase.

And as you know, I enjoy that, but I think the larger point stands: outside the cafeteria smoking cloves.
While the big show goes on elsewhere.
The power of the internet was that geographically and socially isolated people could be part of the discussion.
What I see instead is niche culture that has made itself inconsequential.

I didn't see the beginning of the thread, but probably, modulo whatever cultural whatsis, I mean, you were doing metal and I was at the punk rock shows.

1975, the "big show" was in Vegas, but the interesting stuff was at the Whisky a Go Go. I can't fathom your insistence that the "big show" is Gab, which is not even Vegas, it's a honky-tonk a few miles outside of Atlanta where the lead singer for some band that once opened for Elvis is shitting his pants backstage because he drank too much to navigate his way past the drum kit to the mic, gave up, and passed out.
