It's amazing how on Mastodon even with 1/10th of followers I get way more comments and meaningful interactions on my posts. I feel that no algorithms deciding who gets to see what really makes a difference.
I guess this proves my point
@saint11 On the bird site I've lately been afraid to come off as a "reply bro" when interacting with strangers with no mutuals. Here I'm no longer afraid to reply (I still hold off if I think there is a chance my jest won't be received too well.)
