More strange Mastodon reporting. This time from @thurrott, who claims "I’ve been using Mastodon since December, but the interaction there is almost non-existent compared to Twitter."Dude, you follow 22 people. Try following more people. The "non-existent" interaction is *up to you*.I've found WAY MORE interactions and engagement here than I ever had on Twitter. Plus fewer death threats. https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/social/279094/mastodon-continues-to-lose-users

@stux @mmasnick @thurrott and they are just random to boot. He doesn’t want “engagement”. He wants a comment section for his post and takes. He’s on the wrong site.

@stux @mmasnick @thurrott dude wanted "engagement", opportunity is knocking! Is he going to answer? Look.. I gettt it. He's got a huge following on Twitter & it's very hard to let it go & "start over". I'm still on IG, it's where my art gets, not engagement, but views, comments, & shares I get it. Zuck, Musk, if they butter your bread, it's hard to quit them. For me:IG: Share my art (share)Mstdn: Fun, serious, & random posts & chats (engage)Reddit: Like an interactive RSS feed (receive)

@mmasnick i just got here, and am already enjoying it, and actively looking for new people to follow. I've been reading your stuff for my entire 20 year career, so i figure it's worth asking who you would recommend to follow?

@DirtRock I try to boost a lot of stuff, in part to help people find new (highly active) posters to follow. It really helps to find a few folks who are really active. Don't know exactly what you're interested in, but if you follow me, then @clive @glennf @yaelwrites @ted @pluralistic @ernie @Popehat @jmiers230 @chancerydaily and many more post regularly...

> I've found WAY MORE interactions and engagement here than I ever had on Twitter. Plus fewer death threats.The only reason you're not getting more of both is because your instance censors like half the fediverse.

@mmasnick Btw on death threats. I have about 3x the followers here that I ever did on Twitter. I wrote an article laying out an argument for a $2/gallon gas tax and shared it on Twitter and here. On Twitter, I immediately had a half-dozen DMs threatening my safety, about a dozen more just generally being obnoxious. Here? Some debate, some counterarguments, some "you didn't considers." No DMs. No violence. All well-meaning and intending to further the discussion.

@mike is it fair to say that Paul has a history of mistaking popularity as evidence of the better, more successful platform?

@mmasnick @thurrott I guess some people only use #Twitter and other #SocialMedia solely for #drama and #dogpiling aka. "#AntisocialMedia"...Try https://fedifinder.glitch.me as long as #TwitterAPI isn't uselessly nerf'd [like do it now!] and you'll have a lot of issues fixed.

@mmasnick Thurrot is not an engager he likes the audience to chase. In the past he also had his platforms linking to Twitter left right and center, and rewarding follows and retweets with competitions. No wonder he is not getting his dopamine here.

He also unapologetically actively promotes NSA/Microsoft. Which makes him an enemy of a lot of us.

Personal experience is so worthless of a metric anyway. I’ve had far more interactions in the past month on the Fediverse than I’ve ever had on Twitter and I’ve been on Twitter since 2014 (left 2022)

@jeffcliff @andrew @mmasnick Maybe your outspoken views on killing other people's children were upsetting, Jeff. Most people react negatively to the anti-social things you espouse.
