And desire to participate! Commenting on most websites is shouting into the wind. I feel like general engagement has the potential to be better in a decentralised environment.

Agreed. Not just shout into the wind bit really engage and LISTEN as well as talking. Reddit used to have that. It's largely gone away in the last 5ish years :(

Thatโ€™s what I always loved about Reddit above all other social media. It has a system in place (both through up/downvoting as well as moderating) to foster quality discussions. No other social media compares in that way. The rest are, like you said, people screaming into the wind. Itโ€™s reactionary and itโ€™s so vapid for the most part.
