I wanted to take some time out today to acknowledge some folks on the fediverse that are remarkably prolific, just for fun.

Prolific blogger — Rubenerd

Oh holy moly. This fella has words. Lots of words. Many very fine words. Just look at bro's output for 2024:

~ $ curl -s https://rubenerd.com/year/2024/ |grep -Fc "<li><p>"
561

HOW?!? I'm struggling to blergh out 50 "blosts" a year, and dude is a one-man blogging empire.

Astounding. XD

Prolific tooter — Adrian Cochrane

Adrian's got 165,711 toots (as of writing), and has been at it for over seven years. I thought I was a prolific tootaholic with over 60,000 toots across my instances, but Adrian's got the corner on that.

Not only does he uh, toot a lot, but his toots are usually very technical and informative. Always a joy to read.

Prolific instance hopper — Juan C. Torres, a.k.a. Orthoheterodox

I haven't gotten as many lately, but there was a fair stretch of time when I'd get a new follower notice from orthoheterodox nearly every day. Just attempting to count his currently extant instance accounts, I see at least a dozen, but I know he's had many more in the past. :)

He doesn't seem to be as active lately, so wherever he's at, I hope he's having a blast.

Polific account holder — Orbital Martian

Much like the previous category, the Orbital Martian excels at holding accounts, but simultaneously! I'm currently counting nineteen, although I think some of those are cached (no longer extant instances).

Ultimately, only the Orbital Martian himself knows how many accounts he holds.
Let's hope he comes in peace, unlike his countryman (planetman?), Marvin.

Honorable mention: Nature Photographer — Jason Evangelho

Well, kinda. I'm sure there are plenty of folks that post more nature photographs than Jason, as there are obviously folks that do it for a living. But Jason is notable that he has recently branched out from being an overall tech blogger to now journalling his new adventures on the trail both with the written word and in photos.

As someone who's known Jason, followed his posts for several years, and conversed with him from time to time, I'm really happy to see this new journey in his life, and the newfound spring in his step.
