mastodon - Link to source

Good morning. After telling you yesterday that I wanted to stop publishing on Mastodon, I received many messages from you all which made me reconsider my decision.

For now, I will keep publishing.

Very glad to hear that. ๐Ÿ™‚ Here is no like button and less interaction than elsewhere, but also no company, which has an interest in artificially increasing your follower count. Some news outlets came to the conclusion, that although they have much less followers on Mastodon, they get similar or more clicks from here.

Thank you. I have read your posts here with much interest, but I have seldom interacted with you because I have no useful information of my own to add, to favourite/like posts about the war seems wrong, and to boost from an account about a nature reserve would be inappropriate. But I appreciate your presence here, and will continue to read all of your informative posts. Perhaps also favourite them to show that I have done so.

Thank you!

Many of us actively choose to be here regardless of whether we would have more followers (more bots* โ€ฆ ?) somewhere else - simply recognizing that this is the only social media that we can trust to survive various regimes.

*) I help moderate another largeish Mastodon instance. We're diligent in suspending bots/trolls at signup - something I doubt a commerical platform that wants to brag about the numbers of user do ...

Because of how Mastodon is structured, it is more difficult to understand the actual reach of your posts. For example you receive much much less likes because in Mastodon they don't do much.

If you want to understand your reach, try to publish a poll, so from the interaction you'll see how your reach is actually larger than you may think.

Of course the Fediverse is also smaller than other social networks, so you'll have less reach also because of this.

I think in these times it is especially important to use open source decentralized platforms like mastodon. i stopped visiting X the day musk bought it and seeing the development i think it was a good choice. it is important not to stack all eggs in one basket, as we see currently with trump as well. thanks for staying here and thanks for your work.
