Can we please retire the myth that there is “no engagement” in the Fediverse?

Exhibit A: this badge from #Ivory showing the activity in my account over the past 22 hours — 344 notifications (likes, boosts, follows, replies).

I was on Twitter 1.0 for 14 years, had 4x as many followers on my personal account and never ever had these many interactions. Why?

The damn Big Tech algorithms penalizing my posts whenever I shared links.

I LOVE the Fediverse and its chronological feeds ❤️

I remember exactly the "revelation" in 2020, when I had on Mastodon (account of a few months) half the followers of Twitter (account of 10 years) and yet I had double the interactions and even more reactions...

Commercial social media is a pyramid scheme based on the supposed visibility

@informapirata This about commercial social media and pyramid scheme should be hanging on every wall. That said, non-commercial social media base interaction on how your communication strategy is. You can have the best content but if you don't have a strategy you're off (I think this of myself at least).
