       It is insane how much better engagement is on Mastodon than on Twitter. On here, I've gained over 100 followers from a single post a few times already. On Twitter, my most popular tweet ever got 2 million impressions. And the analytics claim that earned me...... a whopping 2 new followers.

       @lowqualityfacts as i keep saying, the tools are not necessarily the issue, it is the quality of the people using them

       @lowqualityfactsYou fool. Haven't you considered that bot engagement is good, actually? Don't you realize that having artificially high user activity means the platform is more profitable and therefore better? You utter buffoon.

       @lowqualityfacts I deleted my Twitter a long time ago, I always felt like I had road rage when using that app. Much better environment here.

       @lowqualityfacts As I understand it both Twitter & Facebook juice their engagement numbers HEAVILY. Key diff (as it's been explained to me) is that Twitter gives (gave?) people info they could use to figure out it's bullshit, while Facebook actively hides that from you. (Josh Marshal from Talking Points Memo has been particularly vocal about that w.r.t. video.) I.e. not that twitter's better as such, just that they bullshit more by omission than outright lies.

       @lowqualityfacts I really don't intend to trivialize your achievements, but I think that might be due to the fact that there are less users on Mastodon and overall less meme/funny accounts, which results in people following whatever funny account they can find. People on Twitter have all the options and are therefore a lot more picky and deliberate when choosing whom to follow, or at least that's my perception...

       @lowqualityfacts after my account was deleted in early 2021 for a joke… i made a new account.  This twitter account was used from early 2021 to mid-December of 2022.At the time of deletion i had about 186 followers.Since then i have made over 190 followers on mastodon, had better conversations, and a better, less negative/toxic experience.Twitter is almost nothing but clapbacks and snappy criticisms. Its culture is nothing i miss, personally.

       @lowqualityfacts I’m running a sale on one of my RPGs. My gross from Mastodon has been somewhere north of $1k. From Twitter, it’s somewhere around $0. It told me people were seeing it, but I guess people on Twitter don’t like fun. That’s the only reasonable explanation.

       @lowqualityfacts this is a healthy environment looking to engage with users.I wonder what my 'depth' is... I never really cultivate my stuff (I likely should) and I feel like the engagement is super high comparatively.I DO tend to get more 'likes' than 'boosts' however.  It might be how I "Social network" though.. maybe

       @lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social That's because on Twitter, and any other mainstream media, you're subject to the Clout™. Nobody cares about your posts, if you don't have 1M followers or more.But that's not because they really care about your content, it's because they want to leech from your followers to gain more attention.Things work differently here. Having 1k followers here means nothing. Specially since 75% of that 1k followers are dead accounts or bots. So people focus more on following people and content they really like.

       @lowqualityfacts agreed! And because there are no algorithms, you know that “virality” is organic not induced. How did you attribute followers to a post on Mastodon? What are you using?

       @lowqualityfacts engagement over there is certainly nearly 0. I know Mastodon doesn't give any data per toot, but my engagements are usually 7 views and maybe 1 like by the author I tagged. My morning mantra posts here regularly bring in dozens of interactions

       @lowqualityfacts yeah it was really weird. I had an account on the post-Elon-Twitter. First post: Got a decent amount of engagement, like thousands of views and a few likes. I got like a follower or two. Then the rest of the posts that I made didn't even crack 100. They were of the same type of posts too. With hashtags and everything. I never really had a twitter, never got into it and that's most of the reason why. Felt like there was nothing to really engage with.

       @lowqualityfactsThat truly is a low quality fact. Good work, my friend.😀 But yes, engagement is far better in the #Fediverse than what I've experienced elsewhere. At least here a follower doesn't disappear hours later because it was a bot scamming something.

       @lowqualityfacts I've found that one post I made was shared over 50 times in one day, and still is being. Mastodon does not make one an addict to retoots or follows. If it happens, it happens. Nothing disastrous will happen if  you don't have either.

       @lowqualityfacts Just seeing this now for the boost. But yeah, Twitter's impressions are not really related to follow counts. My most viral tweets never netted me followers; what did net me followers was a specific kind of RTing and quote-tweeting, like "Alon is looking for a job, hire him [sic - it was years before I came out enby]" or "this report in the NYT is sourced to what Alon blogged first" or such, from people with followers with the same specific interest as what I write about.

       @lowqualityfacts That’s because ‘engagement’ is not the same as ‘reading what you created’.More creators/celebrities/public figures need to realize that 1000 interested people paying attention is worth more than 10 million viewing and then casually passing it by. And that ‘reach’, ‘exposure’, etc doesn’t always work in your favor.Google Ads get a lot of views and have great reach…and I ignore every one I see…[not a low quality fact]

       @lowqualityfacts <rant>I'm sure there are commercial reasons, but it's irritating when anyone worries about numbers of followers, analytics, etc. Social media is a place to interact & discuss; to vent & rant as an antidote to insanity. Why does it have to be exploited for commerce? I will admit to appreciating discovery of art/music here, and I love that it keeps me abreast of current events, but Twitter was a constant barrage of thinly disguised commercialism that ruined that platform for me

       @lowqualityfacts how many followers did you already have at that point? If you had 1,999,998 followers and got 2 million reactions and 2 new followers, then I guess  that's pretty good. Right?

       @lowqualityfactsOn Twitter, an algorithm shows you content that it thinks it can convince you is a good representation of what you want. There, a "follow" is: "I like this so much I want to see everything this person ever posts from now on"On Mastodon, there is no algorithm. A follow is the only way to potentially see similar content in the future.These metrics can't be easily compared. I'd say replies can be compared, though.

       @lowqualityfacts **Why is engagement better on Mastodon than Twitter?*** Decentralization: no central algorithm, users have more freedom, easier to find people who share interests.* Smaller communities: users see same posts from same people, easier to build relationships.* More focus on quality: no character limit, users can take time to write thoughtful posts. -bard AI

       @lowqualityfacts are you on bluesky? Just curious how that compares if so.I prefer mastodon but it seems bluesky is where everyone's going these days.

       @lowqualityfacts why are the bots so bad at following?

       @flabberghaster I am! I'd say I definitely get better engagement on Bluesky than I ever did on Twitter, but I still get the most on Mastodon.

       @lowqualityfacts Also, if you repost really old posts here, no one sends the coppers round your house. Fact.

       @lowqualityfacts I'm glad it's working for you. I have found the opposite to be true.

       @lowqualityfacts It’s because you made them do math.

       @lowqualityfacts My main take away from this is “Ew, you’re still making burgers in the nazi bar. Get the hell out.”
