Only 5000 followers on Mastodon? I feel like I came in 38th place in Eurovision, and only because some guy in Denmark thought my Glockenspiel solo was too autotuned. We can do better my friends. We must. The fate of my popularity in Europe depends on it.
@JeremyNewberger 4,999 people read “Glockenspiel” for the very first time in their lives, and Google’s search engine melts down with queries.
(This Follower played the instrument half a century ago so I didn’t have to Google it)
@JeremyNewberger Don't expect any pity for your Eurovision ranking from a German.
@JeremyNewberger That bird site obviously rotted your brain a bit. The douchebaggery will heal with time.
@JeremyNewberger Is that the max amount? I just crossed 600 followers.
@DanielleSATM No Max as far as I can tell. I am battling for the title of most followed account on my instance. Last I checked my man @ruud said I had dropped to 9th most popular.
@JeremyNewberger @DanielleSATM Ooh.. well I'm sorry to say.. you're now 14th. The number 1 account on this server has 30k followers. On the bright side, you first were 9th of 20000, now you're 14th of 115000
@ruud @DanielleSATM Holy sugarcoating Batman! I'm gonna run with the boast "I am the 14th most followed guy of my 115,000 people Instance. We will see if that gets me endorsement deals.
@JeremyNewberger @DanielleSATM Probably won't :-) Maybe time to create your own instance, you'll be the number 1 for sure! 🙂
@ruud @DanielleSATM @ruud, I am gonna pretend you didn't just tell me to leave your instance, this instant.
@JeremyNewberger @DanielleSATM No, I enjoy the race for the top too much. You're only 41 followers short for the number 13 :-) Go for it! I'll boost a post of yours , see if I can help 😉
@JeremyNewberger Only 35 to go...
@ruud I got this.

@JeremyNewberger Well unfortunately number 13 gained more followers, so you're 176 behind now. On the bright side, you're almost 1000 followers ahead of number 15.

I hope you'll have a nice day all the same.

@ruud thanks for the update. Ok if I pretend the person ahead of me is The Rock?
@JeremyNewberger Sure! I won’t tell you it’s a Russian pianist then.
@JeremyNewberger lol. But seriously doesn’t matter right? Says the person with 1 follower. I quit the bluebird place. Everyone over there getting there cortisol and dopamine boosts. Who needs it (rhetorical question).
