The mental state of being fully switched on for interaction — responding to everything, posting actively, showing up in comments, DMing people, and generally being a visible and participating presence rather than a passive scroller. Engage mode can be deliberate (a creator pushing a launch) or spontaneous (someone who just got interesting news and can't stop talking). When people announce they're in engage mode, they're signaling that today they are not a lurker. The opposite is ghost mode or NPC mode.
I'm in full engage mode today — drop something in my replies and I will actually respond.
