@andrewstroehlein The bigger question is how did this perform on Mastodon vs the same poll you did on Twitter? What is your feeling so far about the two platforms?
@pweiss That and no algorithm throttling who sees your posts. Here, I have 7k followers but they all get sent my posts. On Twitter, I supposedly have 130k, but when I post, it’s only sent to a tiny fraction of those.
@andrewstroehlein intresting results. I wonder for how long Mastodon can keep on showing all tweets in chronological order without any filters and if this is a good thing for both Mastodon and users. Twitter was the same until its breaking point in 2014 when it counted 288m users worldwide. The more users you have the harder it gets to offer good UX to retain them. Mastodon so far has 1m. Do we want to see all posts shared by all of our following or do we want some sort of filtering?
@pweiss@andrewstroehlein Mastodon right now seems to be good at providing high reach to niche audiences. This alone is a good reason to consider it in the 2023 mix. Consider and watch how it evolves of course
