I remember a time when everyone was on Twitter during conferences. You could barely keep up with the posts on the conference hashtag timeline. That's long gone.
The #LinuxDays have roughly a thousand attendees and during the conference there were 14 posts with the conference hashtag on Mastodon and 8 on Twitter.

@fexplorer I think it's a mindset shift. People simply don't do it any more. Dunno why. Is it because the social media are much more fragmented and people are no longer in one place, or they have moved to IM chats, or they no longer have need to share their experiences from events online? 🤷

I have the impression that the twitter crash disorientates some people in terms of social media, maybe there wasn't much self-determined action before...

What about the Instagram?
I don’t have it, but everyone around me (younger) has it.

@lepapierblanc just checked and nothing. Most posts about #LinuxDays on Instagram are from 2017-18.
People really stopped posting from conferences afrer covid.

@stepan @lepapierblanc I keep doing it. I promote our booth during the conference etc. I do receive responses, but only online. It's not like that someone comes and says "I've seen your post that you have this to show...". In the past, Twitter was the information hub for attendees. You posted something with the conference hashtag and most attendees read it. This is gone. Twitter is going down the hill and people haven't moved elsewhere to communicate during conferences.
