I have been spending many, many hours lately, Aaditi.
To the point that my sleep hours are being shortened, not a good thing.
But the reason is that I am getting so much Intellectual stimulation from all the new things there are to learn, the interesting and knowledgeable people who I have met and responded to my writings from all over the fediverse.
That is wonderful - it's late Fall, almost Winter, and always a difficult time for us here in the Northern hemisphere.
I love the outdoors, cycling, camping and traveling, backpacking, hiking, none of those work well when there's ice, rain and snow, plus shorter days of Winter.
I have gone into binges like this in the past, have been very involved in communities that I liked and had interest in; it's a volunteer opportunity for me.
(I will be applying for a moderator position on the next round, next month; got to get more experience here first, minimum one month on the site which I find perfectly reasonable)

Don't feel bad, you are seeing a dialogue and a democracy at its best.
If you understand better what this instance is all about, you can help by trying to post more along the lines that help make it an attractive place.
There are many, many instances, and lots of places for "General", one liner, micro blogging kind of posts.
Those more or less baffle me, as I had always written in Forums, longer posts, rich content was usual. Some bantering was normal, but Forums also allow different areas - so there might have been a part of the Forum where off-topic posts were acceptable.
Here, we all post and it shows in one single Location -- the Local feed, and every post anyone makes is bounced all over the planet; occupies disk space, uses network data transfers to reach the remotest corners.
Sometime in the future, Mastodon should support a purely local instance - a posting area that does NOT go out to the network at all, and would be ideal for banter, little jokes, etc.
Even when that happen, we still need to not irk the people who come here for the Science, Tech, Eng and Math content.
Don't be sorry, just adjust if you like and join the discussions. If you are friendly, a good thing is to post a welcome response to any new user making their first post.
I know it's always important, and I was at the receiving end of that welcome not long ago, indeed.
So I try to respond to their posts as soon as I see them, and this can be done by any member of the site.
I have been aroudn the Sun a few times, we all learn and grow. Carry on, little sister. Thank you.

You are very welcome. 😺
I am really a cat person; can be friendly and opinionated, but always with a good heart. 😄
I loved Moonshine's joke about Qoto really being running on Freemo's brain, lol.... He sure responds like it did!
