The difference between a closed, algorithmically-curated silo like Twitter and the fediverse.Same post.Twitter: ~43K “followers”, 8 boosts, 58 likesFediverse: ~8.43K followers, 57 boosts, 106 likesYour thousands of “followers” on Twitter mean nothing because the algorithm (i.e., Twitter, Inc.) decides who gets to hear you.#fediverse

@aral Twitter's algorithm makes some people with more or less exposure. Fediverse show everything, sort by date

@aral and it has adsolutely nothing to do with the anti-bigtech mood difference here and there 😅

@albi Well, let’s just say if you’re pro-Big Tech and you follow me, you’re likely a masochist ;)

@aral @albi :bunthink: are you assuming ignoring that your followers also have followers, who are more likely to boost your posts here than on twitter?

@aral I have made were similar experience.#Twitter is very much in favour of big-players among users.So for small user like me #Fediverse is by far the better choice.

@aral I agree, but I do wonder how much of this is because of the differences in audience. I would expect people on the fediverse are more likely to agree with the message.

@aral So with all sincerity then, why are you still using Twitter? Don't you think that your presence there somehow validates the platform? I don't mean that as some random bitchy (twitter style) comeback. Really. isn't it time to "vote with our feet"? Or if not now, when?

@keith I’m forwarding from here. I still have people there that see my tweets who are not here (members of European Parliament, etc.) When I feel it’s no longer useful, I’ll close it down. Does that make sense?

@aral the Fediverse is also great because you can create dedicated communities while retaining the ability to connect with others on the outside of that community.It's the modern equivalent of old BBS systems with Fidonet.
