I do have a busy life that's set to get busier (hence the lacking activity on my @lain account aside from external funding) so it's easier to zap interesting content and reply every now and then with a reply that isn't extremely brief.

Plus, if was nice to have an indicator that showed I was as active as I could be. Maybe I won't even give too much of a shit about the hat streak this year, as per @Natalia's takes on it.
