So I came up with a metric for measuring the quality of your Mastodon social experience.
Consider all posts you made which were responded to by a reply guy. Let N be the number of boosts a post received before the _first_ reply guy response.
The metric (let's call it Φ, for FOSS and because Greek letters look smart) is simply the median value of N of all applicable posts.
I estimate that for me Φ=64. But it used to be _much_ lower.
re: masto meta, reply guys, silly and serious simultaneously
@kiilas i don't get so many reply guys, maybe because i don't toot so much in text rather than in pictures. part of the reason why i (don't) do that is probably rooted in not wanting to deal with reply guys though. (the other part is that written/spoken communication seems to sap my energy, more so with randos than people i already have an established way of communicating with).
